This season he's been paired with Hamonic who quite frankly hasn't been very good most nights. You can argue he's been dragged down by some pretty mediocre/poor partners and despite that he still manages to play at a decent level overall. Pair him with someone decent and you will have a very good top unit.

Really? I think he's been pretty solid back there. He's quiet and you don't notice him much, but he plays a tough shutdown game. Considering he's still adjusting to a new team and system I'd say he's been a pretty good investment.
