Even when (if) Tinsley plays again. Tinsley is a scrub. AJ is an excellent defender that's improved significantly on offense. I loved him when he was in NJ and he has been phenomenal in Indiana. He has earned that starting job. Indy is a better team with him than with Tinsley, who can't defend or shoot.
Go watch a few games from last year when Tinsley was called upon to be a scorer. He played like an all-star, 10 times better than Anthony Johnson. While Tinsley's defense sucks and he's really slow, he can still steal the ball easily. Also, Tinsley can shoot. He improved very much last year.
