Okay. So you are comparing a guy who made the NBA All-Defensive Second Team 3 times, who average 2 spg over his entire NBA career, to a guy who managed 65 steal in 94 NCAA games in a mediocre conference.
That makes it SO much better.

larry averaged two steals a game by using his braing and anticipating where the pass was going to go . he had great anticipation skills. he didnt necessarily use his quickness.

You're making it worse.

there is no reason for adam not to develop a good defensive iq and become a mediocre defender.

Well, one might suspect that such a hard worker who will "do anything to win" might have already TRIED to work on his defense.
Actually, when you look at his collegiate career, there are a lot of reasons to suspect that he will never be anything but a weak NBA defender.

...team defense will ALWAYS be more important than how a single person plays defense.
team defense utilizes everyones strengths. it is a theory that when all the parts of a unit are functioning in tune, the team as a whole becomes a better functioning unit than if everyone was to just follow their individual goals.

You're dreaming in technocolor.
Defense, unlike offense, is only as good as it's weakest link.
