Really good post!  I disagree with some of your observations, but most are spot on.

Regarding JJ being one of "3 struggling offensive players"- yes, he only scored in double digits in 3 of our first 10 games.  But then he closed with 15 straight double digit scoring games.  That's not struggling. He shot 38% from three over those last 15 games, even counting for him cooling off in the last few games.

I think the off ball movement improved in the last month of the season, but was mostly abysmal before that.  Mostly it was 2 guards playing off Maliq at the top of the key to see who could drive.  Stationary 3 point shooters in the corners to create more space for the drive.  It was terrible for a long time.

Regarding what new kind of talent we need, I think it's beyond debate that we need somebody with enough bulk to defend the low post, if we aspire to beat any good teams.  Because all good teams have at least 2 or 3 guys who are bigger than the biggest guys on our team (who are healthy).
