Sorry, but that's what the argument ‘blocked shots = bad defence’ boils down to.

This is really all Chris Butler's fault. He was the leading shot blocker, or close to it, his last year. And the media fed us that garbage for two months, as if we were going to forget that he never once looked like he knew what he was doing the previous two years.
So while blocked shots don't = bad defence, blocked shots being used to justify someone's value = Chris Butler = #### you.
