Default Why?

That's the thread. Just why?

I know we had a sub-par roster last year, but going from the roster last year to this one, I still struggle to see why we saw such a drop-off in performance

Additions
Christian Wood
Javale McGee. (not seeing significant PT)
Jaden Hardy (not seeing significant PT)

Subtractions
Jalen Brunson - 6'0" guard. Only Burke had a worse defensive rating
Sterling Brown - (no significant PT)
Moses Brown - (no significant PT)

The Stats
Offense 6th (14th last year)
Defense 25th (7th last year)
Rebounding % 30th (16th last year)
FT% 27th (16th last year)

My question is why? We know that Brunson contributed. We also know that defensively he was not our lynchpin and he certainly did not significantly impact the rebounding.

We also know that he is a good FT shooter, but took only 2.7 a game (12% of our total FTs)

Why, when we swapped only Wood for Brunson are we seeing such huge issues on this team? I get that our roster is one of the least talented in the league. What I don't get is that essentially the same roster was 7th in defense and a respectable 16th in rebounding.

Little help?
