Steals doesn't make a player a good on the ball defender. It would be like saying Amare is a good defender because he blocks a lot of shots.

That was the most poorly researched critique of a player I think I have ever read. Wow! That was the most poorly researched critique of a player I think I have ever read.

For once i would like to see a blogger adress this. The facts say that he can play defense.

There's no denying that his footspeed is good, evidenced by his success offensively. What remains to be seen is if he can translate that footspeed to the defensive end; a question I think more appropriately answered by whether he has the will to do it. The tools are there, but the desire is what will determine his success. You’re confusing “didn’t play defense” with “can’t play defense”.

He is not a good defender. He might have put up those agility time numbers, but that is just like saying oh the guy ran a good 40. Sometimes you have to watch the guy play.

Another lazy journalism (not quite) attempt. "Indeed, Fredette posted the third-best lane agility time of 3.21 seconds, ahead of Knight, Walker, Isaiah Thomas and Noland Smith." Do some research smart guy . . . “He simply does not have the foot speed to be a quality defender at this level.”

The Knicks will need to trade up to get him, which I've heard is being considered. Unfortunately, there’s no chance Fredette will be available at 17.
