Top 12 in '12 -- Best Perimeter Defenders
 

One of the most valuable things to have on your NBA 2K12 squad is a defensive stopper, someone who can guard the opposing team’s best player in crunch time.

Dude is gonna be an all defensive 1st teamer throughout his career as long as his offense lets him play at least 25 minutes a game. Maybe he can develop his 3 point shot and he's set.

Yes sir I believe he can be an excellent defender one day he's just on bad team as of right now
