The offense should challenge all time efficiency records but instead they’re about average. The season will be determined by whether they can become the offensive juggernaut they’re built to be. I don’t know if the staff is up to it. But even with the sputtering offense, they need to get some rebounds.
I don’t disagree with what you are seeing, but I’d like to suggest that it might not be on the coaches. I think the stuff they have installed and have run a little bit is more sophisticated than what they have been running in recent seasons, but It takes cooperation from the guys who control the ball.
The elephant in the room is that Luka has flatly been not great to start this season, and the team is designed for him to be great. Can’t work around that with coaching at this level, really. I think that, in a way, it speaks volumes about the coaches and the roster that they have a winning record.
