I agree completely with this assessment.  JB had no other options last year, Frank played a ton of minutes, on a team that had zero depth.  We lost 14 games last year, and if people would just revisit those losses and see where we struggled, it's a direct parallel to this season, immense struggles on offense, difficulty scoring, a lot related to inconsistent play at the PG spot, and total discombobulation with the offense when facing aggressive/hounding in your face D.

Additionally, turnovers do not tell the complete story, as much of the time on offense in these losses we held the ball, pounding it in place for 15 seconds, side to side passing above the 3 point line, etc.  Very little north/south movement at all.  It is quite interesting as you allude how some have such fond memories, likely as you also allude due to those 3 W's in the tourney.  I remember a few times late in games in some of those losses, with the game out of reach, Frank getting a bunch of garbage buckets...which padded his scoring average a bit as well.
