As for the upcoming season…
With four All NBA Defense Team members (two 1st team and two 2nd team), along with a guy who has the potential to be an All NBA Defender as well in the staring 5, the squad should be top 3 in BaF defensively if rated correctly.
Then off the bench Looney, Thybulle and Vanderbilt should be at least solid defensively as well. If anything, Thybulle and Vando should have high steal ratings.
Offensively, off the bench Sexton and Porter Jr. should supply efficient and consistent point production.
I sacrificed a lot of talent, youth, and potential to reconstruct this squad into a legit contender now with a clear defensive identity. Let’s see how things play out with the ratings.
As long as we can stay healthy and grind out enough scoring, we should be able to consistently win regular season games and hopefully make our first deep playoff run.
