Yeah, i believe he'll struggle defensively, especially fighting through screens. He's so small that no matter how much effort he puts in defending i just can't see him being a above average defender in the NBA. But we gotta remember his ceiling is a good backup PG, so let's hope he's at least...

Just say no to Huertas. He's been declining for the past 3 seasons. He has always been unatletic and a poor defender, but right now he would be THE WORST defender in the League. And no, i'm not being hard on him. I'm brazilian, loved the guy, he was lots of fun to watch for our NT. His defence...

Hey guys, first post here. Just to make things clear, Raul is not related to this Jose Alves Neto coach. Actually, 'Neto' is not a surname. It means 'grandson' in portuguese and it's used the same way Americans use the numbers after the names of kids named after their fathers or grandfathers...
