I think the biggest turning point was, ironically, they went winless in the in-season tournament after being the darlings of the in-season tournament a year ago.

And the most important returns was Andrew Nembhard was no longer on a minutes restriction. He was the biggest motivating factor in my mind on the strides that they made at the defensive end. He sets the tone there. Aaron Neesmith, it took him a little bit longer to come back, but they got their point of attack defenders back. Tyrese Halliburton made some strides on that end of the floor.

They started turning the ball over a lot less, which is important to them, not only offensively, but also defensively, especially for a team that plays so quickly.

In addition to this, I think it was, I think it was most people expected that Tyrese Halliburton, once he started looking more like Tyrese Halliburton, that the offense would come around and it did. What they did defensively was a much bigger surprise, at least to me and what my coverage was.
