is j-rich really a weak defender?

i've been hearing this thought percolating around GSOM and it is a new idea to me.  it might be because i've been listening to most of the games on the radio this year, and play-by-play guys tend not to focus on defense as much, but i guess i always assumed richardson was a decent defender.  i mean, he is strong, pretty fast, a dedicated player.  why can't he play D?

Zig mentioned that KNBR's guy shared this line on why j-rich is not fully in nellie's favor:

Steinmetz said Monta and J-rich don't play because they aren't doing what he wants on defense

can anyone help me out on this one?  what kind of defender is j-rich, as compared to other shooting guards and swingmen around the league?
