"Needlessly binary" you mean?
According to my understanding of people's daily analysis here, there are two types of defenders: All NBA defensive studs and people who completely suck at defense. That's probably a little on the marginalizing side, and I don't mean to call out anyone specific, but at least once a day I read about how "_____ doesn't play any defense" and I almost never agree.
I don't agree with those making variations of that comment about LaVine today, for example, but it's not so much about LaVine, it's about the binary nature of the comment. Tomorrow, someone else's defense won't be good enough. The next day, it will be someone else.
