Point taken. I think it's maybe because he is usually great defensively, and there are others that are really bad, it just doesn't get mentioned. I'm sure if it it's a few games in a row, ppl will start talking about it.
Also, Flip tends to favor the no defense offense player. AA slips in and out of the rotation with no real reason. That's probably why i feel the need to defend him. Same reason there was a huge outcry about Amir.
I actually do think there are situations Dixon would be useful in. I just don't trust Flip to make the right adjustments.
