Great teams went after Ronnie Brewer. I agree with you though on every thing else unless you are considering Shump as a lock down defender.
Who can we compare him to? Tony allen? Bruce Bowen? Dan Marjerle? Ron Harper?
His offensive IQ and efficiency are awful and have always been. I don't remember too many defensive 2 guards who were that awful offensively. Bowen at least learned to knock down the 3 to make his offense look less terrible.
Can Phil fix him? I don't think so but who knows, maybe he sees something fixable/teachable.
so here is what phil is thinking ....
