Ochai was likely one of the the 4 hopefully he can get healthy and show it so we can get trade value.
Sandro was a great pickup replacement for Chris. We still need C depth
Organic improvement from Shead at an essential position and Mamu's "make good" signing are two of the biggest reasons for the improvement. Grady,s net positive is happily not been ignored by the analysts including this channel. And Battle's microwave scoring abilities has been arguably underused but I'll leave that to Darko to figure out.
Great analysis in this one:
• 2nd +/- in NBA (3.6) after (after OKC 4.7) Nuggets (3.1)
• Early-clock advantages + tighter defensive connectivity are becoming real patterns.
• Quickley/Shead dual-PG looks give two different tempos without losing structure.
• RJ + Scottie offering complementary rim-pressure was a sharp highlight.
• Bench actions (delay → ghost → slip) actually driving runs.
-Would love a future deep-dive on how this identity holds up vs zones, switch-heavy teams, or big-drop defences.
-Exploring “ceiling vs floor”: identify what this team looks like on its best night (when shots fall) vs on its off night (when they don’t).
-Which habits remain constant, and which break down
