It depends how they play. It depends on how Red is subbing and his feel for the game. Is there more defensive intensity, etc.
The “what if” has a ton of variables.

All I know is that in different sports, you see how coaching impacts the team a lot more than adding “talent and money and stir”.

I saw it this year with the Commanders in NFL.
I saw it with the Cubs when they added Joe Madden in 2015. 
tons of other examples.

A lot of it is controlling the locker room too. I worked in MLB for a decade, and having toxic locker rooms and lack of leadership (from player level and coaching) is the difference between bad and good teams (is there a player leader at Cuse currently? Does Red control the locker room? Honest questions)

At pros and in power conference college basketball, all of these players are talented and good. There are a few levels of “good” but the separator , in my opinion, is harnessing that collective talent and maximizing it (coaching)
