Yeah. It’s hard to compare. Releford was doing different stuff. If he’s asked to lock down the point guard he wouldn’t be as effective as Garrett but Garrett didn’t have anywhere in the same universe of length as Releford.
I remember all our bigs were in foul trouble and they made him 4 and the 5 man cleared out and they were going to go right at Releford. I thought hooo boy, here we go. Dude didn’t score and eventually they went back to their normal offense. It was awesome. I think they should have done it more.
Releford could do more things but if you’re looking at strictly guarding point guards Garrett was better.
