because our 2nd year 6'2 180 pound shooting guard appears to be an aggressive defender (against other undersized guards) and he had a 1 month stretch of very believable offensive ability (in between shooting 36%) during the tail end of a lockout shortened season when opposing teams didn't have time to properly scout or practice.
Clearly he's the best option over a guy who continues to shoot lights out, spread the floor (for our offensively-challenged point guard who can't consistently score on his own), and post averages of 46% FG, 45% 3P and 91% from the line.
