It takes a special dude like Haliburton to succeed there, for the most part. Had Bagley gone some place like San Antonio there's no telling how differently things might've turned out.
People brought up his defensive weaknesses during his draft and they were dead on the money. We've seen him up close now and can see his offensive talent, but that doesn't matter much if you aren't otherworldly when your defense is that bad. He has the physical tools to play defense so it's either effort or IQ (or both).
