Serious question, can defense alone save AB career in Orlando?

If bane doesn't forget how to shoot he is gonna be big for this team. He attacks a lot more then I remember him doing in the past.

Imagine if Orlando has real coaches to teach Paolo and company to play efficient, easy basketball! Paolo waste WAY too much on offense! He needs to get with Shaq and Olajuwon

They all look a little low on stamina understandably.. Bane looks terrific.. his playmaking to be specific. Paolo starting off shooting the free throw in good form.. he does look like he's been working out tho.

Can already see how vastly better Bane is over KCP.
