Offense is too much standing around. Player movement opens up the floor and creates cleaner shots, for three or otherwise.
The transition D is surprisingly bad. The half court defensive issues, especially with the starters can be attributed mainly to the personnel and whatever misapprehension Randle has had about himself since signing his big contract. We do not need him to be the bell cow. We need him to be a very good power forward who plays his ass off for his teammates. That starts with spending his energy on defense and keeping his focus on team objectives and performance, focusing on the play on the floor rather than the refs or the fans.
Kemba is an invitation to drive or use a screen or simply hoist. He does not draw enough charges, come up with enough steals or long rebounds anymore to in any way cover that up. Ev can not keep up with player movement off ball or match an athletic player in athleticism. He does get steals but often throws them away in our disorganized fast breaks.
