Scale of 1-10, how much of an improvement is the 22-23 roster *defensively* over 21-22? (Just polling the congregation, no gaslighting intended)

Improvement from an unexpected source???

STURT - - No, not NBA 1st team - defense.  I do, however, expect the most improved - defense - NBA.

To me, one of the biggest worries that Trae had is now eliminated.  "Be very careful.  Do not foul out.  We have no one to replace you."

Murray fixes this worry.

Sturdy D but don’t pump your chest for that.  

That’s like me pumping my chest for taking the garbage out.

Would also caution that #22 probably isn't in Trae's league... literally.

Really good point... Trae can be more aggressive.

I think 5 is fair. I think we are better but until I see Trae become at least an average NBA defensive player as a starter at PG then we're always going to be handicapped by having to play 4 on 5 on defense.

If it takes pumping his chest to result in going from a defensive liability to a sturdy defender then pump away.
