Mark Barrington: This has always been a transitional year for the Silver and Black. They have a bunch of young developing players that are going to be inconsistent, and a couple of talented veterans (DeRozan, Gay, and Mills) that aren’t talented enough on their own to overcome bad games by the rest of the team. DeMar DeRozan is the team leader, but he has a limited game that is easy to plan against if no one else on the team is stepping up. And the biggest issue has been team defense. The rotations have been slow and communication has been poor.
