There are several significant reasons, and each of them alone would be a disqualifier.
The 1st is that he is NOT the quality of player you think he is. He's not two-way, not anymore. He doesn't (perhaps he can't, because of injuries?) play good defense anymore. Just the opposite- he's really bad. Over the last 4-5 years, he has been about the WORST defender on his team, per B-R def ratings. He is now a BAD defender.
I'm not in the pro Brogdon camp primarily due to health concerns, but if you are going to use defensive stats to make a case I would suggest not using B-R def ratings, as its based on box scores which are extremely limited in describing defense. His defensive rating on EPM and DPM are slightly below average and his defensive rating (on/off based, not box score) is not bad compared to the rest of his team the last couple of years. You especially have to take this last season numbers with a grain of salt given he was on a bad tanking team (we learned that lesson with PJ). He is probably not a guy you want as your primary point of attack defender, but his defense is probably above average for a 6th man. It would definitely be an upgrade over Timmy. He would be a very good fit for 6th man on this team if we could trust him to stay on the court, but we already have one of those and are only paying him 3 mil a year.
