Both Martin and McCormack can be easily exploited by any PNR offense any time they are on the floor.

I definitely agree we are worse defensively (mainly because we lost Garrett) but this team struggled offensively last year. We are taking more in transition threes (well Agbaji) and kudos to Braun and Agbaji they have really improved in transition but we still struggle in the half court to score especially at the end of shot clocks. Perhaps that is one of the reasons we seem to play faster than I remember this year.
