The highlighted component above is what is tangible.  Your next paragraph is subjective.

Potential needs to be actualized.  Right now, the team isn't close to actualizing it's optimized potential.

And I'm sorry, Forza, because I am a fan of you as a poster -- not trying to be argumentative.  I just believe that in this instance, you're glossing over a few glaring issues that are impairing team performance -- and personnel / performance is a big factor in a couple of those issues.  Again, your first post in this thread was that you disagreed with what my OP suggested.  I haven't seen much to validate that assertion, beyond wishful thinking about if Howard were healthy.

I mean, is that even that insightful?  If Frank were healthy / playing well, and Battle performed at a high clip, and Brissett finished everything inside and shot 35% from three, and Hughes continued averaging 15 ppg, and Dolezaj built upon last year and averaged 11 ppg, and Sidibe gave us a low post presence...

All of those things could manifest this year, by the way.  Which I think is part of the point you are making.  But some or none of them also might happen.  Which is why the team has underachieved relative to expectations thus far, and why a few adjustments would be useful toward helping nudge the team toward actualizing the immense potential it should have and has generally failed to tap into to date.
