The criticism of Derrick is not unfair... he is not a very good shooter and is poor at FT's.

I tried, but I'm unable to reconcile these two statements.

Being adequate is what "Derek" does best.

Bok?

The criticism of Derrick is not unfair. Derrick is a capable backup PG.

That was sorta my point.  It's unfair to criticize a reserve for not being able to handle the starting job for 35 minutes a night.

Don't tell me that it's unfair to criticize him for his play because he's a back-up--he became a "back-up" because of his play thus far and so in some twisted way his play exculpates him from criticism because he's been so bad as to warrant the back-up label? Weird logic.
