I always have like Billups as a defender but did anyone see yesterdays story where Detroit was supposed to be looking to deal Billups "as the worst defender in their lineup" a paraphrase of a quote that supposedly came from Joe Dumars, the GM? Harsh!
Billups is slowed down by injuries right now, what negatively affects his defense, but it doesn't reflect his whole 5-year peak when - as you've mentioned - has always been regarded superior defender to KJ. While if we want to talk about injuries, how about Kevin being more injury-prone than Billups?
P.S. One more judge please?
