It's obvious that it's a locker room issue. A psychology issue. A culture issue.
You fix that, and you fix a lot of these issues.
Kidd can run shooting drills for 8 hours a day, but if guys are unhappy, their FT numbers are going to be below career averages and the defense is going to underperform.
Are the guys bad defensively? Yes. Are they underperforming their peak performance? Also yes.
