That’s hyperbole. At best.Holmes was never a good/great defender, nor could he rebound. If he wasn't scoring, or at least penetrating and kicking out, he had little value. C Jones and Holmes have virtually nothing in common as basketball players.
Holmes isn’t being recruited, let alone playing 32 minutes/gm without being sufficient on defense. We’re not an elite defense without him being sufficient, either.
Jones is another cog of great team defense, that isn’t elite at anything, but can do a little of many things. On offense, you can’t count on their shooting most games, but they can still have a positive impact. Similar athleticism. Similar upside in terms of impact
