I love him, he is a great offensive weapon , but his defense isn't getting it done. Not that he is the only one , but Teague and Schoder are driving past/through him with ease. Unless we have a legit shot blocker , he can't be a starter on a contender IMO .
And this isn't about bashing Thomas, it is just a fact . You can hide him at times , but over a 7 game series he is going to have a hard time defending other PG's that can score.
I would try to upgrade at the PG or SG spot(Butler) and move Isaiah back into the 6th man role .
It's not his fault because he is the best we have at the moment , and AB injury hurts trying to hide him on defense .
