    Silas's "bag" is a coin purse. He's got another year, tops IMO

    I believe we are going to win more games this year because of our defense and our size.

    We were a little bit of defense and a better FT % away from being a 30 win team last year.

    We drafted some really good/great defenders and got rid of a bad defender buttt… this team is gonna be garbage defensively again next year they are just too young (I think).

    3 years from now though I think the D will be excellent

    We are still a team with 7 FRPs on the roster from the last two drafts, I wouldn't get your hopes too high on defense next season. We may improve from cat **** rolled in dog **** to just dog **** unless we make a decent FA signing.

    It'll all come together when we add a 7'2 frenchie with a 7'9" wingspan, handles, mobility, 3 pt range, and a frame to add muscle mass.

    I envision this upcoming season as a year we see a step up in offense. Generally defense takes time with youth. Can’t see us being much better than bottom 5 this season.

    Elite D is about communication and the mental game. Teenagers are stupid in comparison to seasoned vets.

    what i am saying is, by the time they hit their prime in their late 20s they will be better then what PJ and Ariza brought.

    Or trade for a 7'0 American with 7'7 wingspan with similar handles, mobility, switch ability, rim protect and muscle mass deficiency.

    Let OKC worry about Wembanyana sweepstakes.

    Having a coach/assistant who specializes in defense is a must too.

    Defense is an attitude.

    A mindset.

    So, Zone defense? We kinda need to protect Sengun from defending out at the perimeter , Jabari and Especually Tari would be great help defenders.
