Arizona's lead scorer(until he faced morningstar) 6'7 shooting forward, Chase Budinger. Morninstar held him to 3 points in 30 minutes ... again without fouling. Budinger ending up getting 5 points ... 12 points below his average.

So he's been able to adequately cover two jump shooters who hardly ever drive, is that what your saying?
If he faces players that have the ability or willingness to attack him, he will be exposed like the Syracuse game.

he avg 7.8 ppg and shoots close to 50% from 3pt range ... he doesn't turn the ball over and he can play 30+ minutes each without fouling out even though he draws the top defensive assignments that used to be saved for Brandon Rush.

He doesn't have Rush's long arms and quick feet, and will struggle in the long run if that's the role they put him in.
That said, he's basically the only player on the team making jump shots which opens the floor for Sherron and Cole, so you have to leave him in there for now.
