Problem with him being a long term guy is his defense. Cannot stay in front of guys. He also cannot finish at the rim anymore. Basically a one dimensional player, can only shoot. His passing is a nice surprise but it can only go so far due to lack of quickness to get past guys and get to the rim and finish like he used to.
Great to see him be a decent player though.

His defense isn't that bad, actually. He plays the best team defense we have on the perimeter. He squeezes down on the post really effectively, which does sometimes leave him closing out and out of position, but the alternative is an easy play in the post.

If you can consistently shoot 45% from 3 and get a few assists per game that isn't a one dimensional player. That's a valuable cog in the current style of NBA offense.
