If you want to be a tournament team and play 4 on 5 you need to have loads of talent at the other 4 spots on the court who can do everything else to make up for the deficiency. Issue is you typically do that because that flawed player excels on one side of the court and is more like a .25 on the flawed side.

Carlos is a .25 on both ends right now and you simply can’t win that way. We just as easily could lose playing someone else in his spot for the same reasons but Red has to try even if it’s the same outcome at this point.

Bell is certainly doing some good things on the court but as a key piece (not just a starter) for a P4 team it’s not close to enough.

Red does really seem to lack that ability to build cohesion on the floor and the ability to rotate the right guys and put guys in a position to be successful at this point in his career and in year 2 that’s a major concern. When you look at the successful coaches out there today they have an “it factor” somewhere on their resume. At a minimum there is an intensity that comes with them if the X’s and O’s aren’t there. Recruiting alone can’t be the it factor as there has to be an ability to do other things to establish and sustain that success. Right now nothing stands out with what we’ve seen so far, besides the recruiting we see for ‘25.
