When does this team start to overachieve?

We’ve achieved a 1-11 record by starting rookies, Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner. I would hope you’re looking for achieving more than that, I know I am.

Herro has been only our consistent offensive option, but his effort on defense is laughable at times. I remember watching one possession in the Lakers game where he bricked a three, and didn't even bother to cover a Laker in transition who proceeded to have a layup. He just let him run by him knowing he was the last line of defense.

Yea, the entire team is completely checked out on D. I expect it with terrible teams late in the season, but they're not even trying a month in.

I don't get not running back on defense. Like, that should be the absolute minimum, and they're blowing it on every possession.

I had written in our forum the overall defensive and offensive stats for kpj rollins and Herro. Herro was the best on offense and worst on defense by far. Kpj was best on defense and best if you combine defense and offense. Rollins was in the middle.

So don’t expect Herro to shine on defense.

I am not surprised at all. Crashing the offensive boards consistently is a strategy of Jenkins. The Bucks just can’t run back fast enough to have a a decent transition defense. That is something I found starkly obvious. But Jenkins sticks to his strategy snd we get what are getting.
