My concern...

While it's a minor improvement for the defense...it's a major setback for the offense.

What's the point of even having an elite playmaking PG if we're bad at defense AND mediocre at offense?

TOs and missing Hunter and Bogi.

And Jalen's uneven adjustment to being the 2nd Option. Plus Zacch & Trae's poor shooting efficiency.

I honestly believe a healthy Trae/Jalen/Bogi are enough in this system to keep us top-10 in Offense, though.

Never thought I'd see a Trae Young-led team where the offense is worse than the defense...

How did no coach, scout or player make the adjustment on Kyrie and just force him right on every single possession?

The Heliocentric offense is changing with Trae taking less shots, but unfortunately no one has really filled the gap to make offenses pay.

Team seems to have bought in on the defense end:
