Guys,

How has Sergio looked on defense this year?

I ask because he looks pretty good on some defensive numbers I was playing around with, ranking up there with Kidd, Paul, Thabo, Hughes, and Wade in terms of perimeter defensive impact. He ranks average at best when I look back at each of his seasons with Portland.

He does seem to be collecting quite a few steals in limited minutes.

his steals are OK, bt he's terrible overall. gets blown by on a nighlty basis.. people like him but hey, he's Sergio Ro_riguez in my opinion...

He gets lost on rotations and things like that.

Comparable to Chris Paul in the sense, he's not great at staying in front of his man, but he is very pesky, and he's always going to steals.

Minus playing the passing lanes he's terrible.

fair point.. i don't think that he can be reliable option at PG because of his D. above-average playmaker, but horrendous D.
