Wes Johnson played terrible defense, Wes Johnson reeeeally struggles to dribble, shoot, pass or defend, while Shannon Brown was a black hole... Wes Johnson made him look generous.
Wes may have been more ascetically pleasing, it was nice to see him get hot from 3 a few times, but his results were worse in almost every way than Brown's were.
You're missing the point. Brown made the rest of the team significantly worse when he was on the court. Most of this was due to the complete ball-stopping that happened every time he touched the ball. The rest of the team knew they weren't getting the ball from Brown, and as such, stopped moving to get open. Brown dribbled the ball for 18 seconds then shot a terrible contested fadeaway more often than anything else.
Johnson didn't hold onto the ball and ruin the flow of the offense. Brown is straight trash. Johnson may have been picked far too high in the draft, but I'd take him over Brown any day of the week.
