And for all the quality that C.J.

McCollum brings on offense, he's been not good on defense.

And...

Chris Middleton lately has not been very effective unless he's playing Milwaukee.

So he's facing all these headwinds.

That's all true.

I think that's a necessary context.

Having said all that, I don't see a team that is close to playing to whatever its capability is.

And that shows itself on defense.

Are there times when they play good defense?

Yes.

Is it too much to expect –

A young team to play 48 minutes of very good defense probably is too much to expect.

But even having said all that, they don't seem to be anywhere near good.

but they could be in the short term.

And I think that is an issue.

I think that's an issue.

And I also think that it's an almost impossible job that he's been put into to hold him to a standard of seeing that team play 48 minutes per night of great defense.

I just don't think that that's realistic, but I also don't think that they are close to that on most nights.

So his shooting has been great as advertised.
