Taj Gibson: Over or Under rated?

[Gustavus Adolphus]

i wouldn't trade taj for a lot of players. he;s a good player. for example, i wouldn't trade taj for rudy.

I wouldn't do that trade either, but it isn't because of Taj.

When his feet weren't bothering him, he was guarding perimeter players exceptionally well for a rookie forward. I'm not advocating for him to be a SF, but in a pinch and with good feet, I think he's capable.

The only SFs Taj could defend are the ones who basically stink and don't require much defense.

Offensively, Taj isn't remotely capable of playing SF.

This isn't to down Taj, it's just not what he is. It'd be like trying to make Luol Deng a SG. It just makes no sense.
