Prevent dribble penetration which seems systemic and strategic so that will probably persist, is our near zero rim protection. If that changes next year and we have some shot blockers and breakdowns from penetration don’t always create scramble situations that could be transformative in results even if on paper the talent looks relatively at the same level. Not saying that is going to happen, but it’s plausible.

The other aspect, and I’m not trying to be personally disparaging, is that not running so much of the offense through Grill like we did in the second half should also be transforming. It really stagnated a lot of our half court sets in terms of ball movement and resulted in us taking a lot of really low quality shots. Again I’m not saying that his eligibility ending fixes that (people used to say the same about Kareem and Gillbert, and then they moved on and it was a disaster), but it plausibly could.

I don’t think most of our issues last year were roster or talent related. When we played our best we could play with and beat pretty much anyone. Our problem was mostly rotations and coaching related, so even bringing back a slight step back in talent might be an improvement if we just have less total bodies
