IMO we're still ways to go.
I think we've underestimated Wood's departure. Even though he was a bad defender, he provided a very good spark off the bench in terms off scoring (C&S, Foul Drawing), efficiency and rebounding. I really don't want to rely on Thimothy or Hardy to get buckets every game. Maybe re-sign him as a 6th man? Options are very limited.
I know we're not close to finished, but right now:
Offense: B+ (Probably 8th-12th in the league) - We lack of another ball-handler (I'm low on Hardy) and reliable scorer other than Doncic/Irving.
Rim pressure - B-
Paint production - C+
Mid-range - B
3pt-shooting - B
Playmaking - B+
Self Creation - B+
Foul Drawing - B+
Off Ball - C-
Free Throws - D
Catch and Shoot - B+
Turnovers - A
Offensive rebounding - F
Defense: C- (probably 22nd-26th in the league). Still major concearns over rebounding and rim-protection. Have not added a starting caliber defender to play with Luka/Irving. Relying on Green/Bullock/THJ to cover for them on rotations is our demise.
Point of Attack - C+
Post defense - C
Rim protection - D
Versatility - C
Help defense - C-
Perimeter defense - C
Defensive rebounding - D
Generating turnovers - C-

We just paid a whole lot of money to a guy that went 9-29 (31%) on FG and 3-20 (15%) 3-pt% in both our win or go home elimination games last couple of playoffs. SMH
