In particular, I'm interested in how the youngsters develop, namely Flagg/Nembhard/Williams. I'd throw Lively in that as well if they let him move outside more on offense.
I'm also interested in whether this team is actually as good defensively as some projections indicate. Also, whether being a beast defensively actually helps in the W-L columns.
I'm also really curious about the defense.
Safe to say it would have been a juggernaut back in about 2009 when so much revolved around quality 2 point shots in the half court. This group can stop those.
Will the 3 point shot break them? Will they be too slow to defend in transition?
I feel like the people already pencilling them in as an elite defense are living in the past a bit (and maybe Nico is too)
