We don't force turnovers (28th in the league), we don't steal (28th) and we don't block enough (20th). Also, our Defensive Rebound % (18th) should be better if we want to contend, fixing that should fix our Opponent Offensive Rebounding (26th).I have a concern about this, too. The Mavs are certainly a better defensive team with KP, but they still have room to improve. I think the team will continue to make progress in getting it together. But I don't know what this roster's defensive ceiling is. There are some guys who can play good defense, skill-wise, but except for a couple of positions, they're pretty undersized. Guess we'll continue to monitor the situation.
