They are indeed. The one concern (besides injuries) that I have is their stale offense at times. They are prone to low-efficiency stretches and games having a bunch of inconsistent shooters and stars with subpar shot selection. Most of the time it does not matter because their defense is just so ridiculously good and their offensive talent can start carrying them at any moment in a game. Still, I wonder if they'll have some playoff scares along the way as a result of this.
I suspect their offense lets them down and they fall short of a title this year. And I expect them to finally address that this summer. Williams is a terrific young player, but he's not ready to anchor an offense when SGA sits and in the playoffs some coach is going to have a scheme for SGA. Maybe the shooters can just live on the right side of variance, but I hate that they didn't add another shot creator with all those assets.
Last i remember we have the #1 offense since january 1 (and top 1 defense over the whole year, included since january 1)
we added chet back which completely changes our offensive dinamic when playing the 5 in small ball lineups, wiggins has improved amd played as a legit all around scorer off the bench, our 3 pt shooting is off its early slump, we still have a big advantage in possesions
I get the idea of people who wanted cam or someone like him, but we already have plenty of guys who will need touches (shai, jalen, chet)
Then there is wiggins who is a high efficiency scorer at the rim, can self create a fair bit and shots 39% from 3, isiah joe shots above 40%, even caruso is finding his shot, dort has shot 40% since last season chet shot 40% last season
Cam or a high profile scorer would have needed to be featueres prominently or be somewhat "wasted" in a sixth man role or as a corner shooter and i dont want to take the ball away of jalen or chet
