The defensive highlights especially were awesome. Both Nance and Ingram might potentially develop into one of the top defenders in the league.

The bench isn't our problem. It's the starting line up.

Deng needs to be moved too PF or bench role. Injuries are a problem atm. tough schedule etc is another problem. We have what the 2nd hardest schedule behind Dallas?

Basically this. The bench isn't the problem, injuries are. Injuries have forced us to mess up our bench rotation and shift guys into roles that they're not familiar with (Ingram at PG).

Deng definitely needs to come off the pine. Starting Ingram might be a better option, but our defense would take a hit. Deng is a pretty good defender, while Ingram isn't yet.
