That would make a world of difference. Better individual defenders will help, but I think something else is missing. They have some guys playing hard but it just doesn’t feel like they are connected. An extra pass or a drive tends to give up wide open looks. That shouldn’t be happening almost every game. So let’s focus on 10% better. If they do, they are going to be a difficult out.
The other thing I think in regards to our defensive problem is how much of it can attributed to a "style" of play or perhaps a system. We tend to think there's a lack of effort, but I suspect it's a lot more than that.
