I'm almost positive that you are talking about Pargo who is an NBA talent for sure. Pargo played mostly at the point and brought the ball up last year so that Raivio could work off the ball and get more shots. On defense they play zone quite a bit and if they are man-to-man Raivio would usually guard the other teams PG. You are right, DR has to work on his defense for sure. However, I don't think its a disqualifier for him and I believe if he put as much work into it as he does his shooting he could definitely become a solid defender because its not like he's slow and he is the same size as most of Atlanta's other PGs. I hope Raivio gets a good amount of playing time in summer league and that he shows his best out there.

As a Zag fan Raivio made huge strides coming in his senior season as far as creating his own shot. While I think its going to be an uphill battle for him to make the NBA I think he could be successful. He has pretty good handles and improved his passing last year despite getting moved over to SG. Plus, he's automatic from the line, a great deal better than Claxton's 55% and 21% from 3pt.
