Dame on Stotts

[Orion Bailey]

Our offense by Terry's standards has been trash, but our defense is out of this world so far. Here are rankings of our ORTG and DRTG over Terry's tenure:
2012: 16, 25
2013: 3, 16
2014: 9, 9
2015: 6, 19
2016: 11, 24
2017: 16, 2

And we are protecting the rim better than anyone else in the league by a large margin. This isn't getting as much pub as our slow, clunky O.

So an elite D and an average offense. Something tells me our offense will improve as we get better with the schemes.
I see us as on the right path overall.

You say that as if this weren't, essentially, the same team we've had for the past three seasons, running, essentially, the same schemes for the past 6 seasons. Continuity is not one of the things this team lacks. And continuity should help teams get out to quicker starts (especially against weak competition!) than teams that are incorporating major changes to key personnel.

Also, something tells me our defensive will get worse as we play better teams.
