What will make or break this 2025-26 team?

Coaching, Defense and 3 point shooting

I think this is right.

Those were the three systemic flaws last year, and it remains to be seen whether things will change even with the new personnel.

Going to be interesting.
 
Defending is at the top of the list. Red holding JJ accountable and JJ becoming a role player that takes 4-5 less shots a game.

Red holding everyone accountable for that matter too and taking advantage of having a bench full of guys who should be utilized to add what is missing if a starter is struggling or the matchup isn’t ideal.

Naturally the rotation will shrink some as the season progresses but smart sub patterns have to be part of his evolution as a coach. There was a bare cupboard to work with last year but even then games were lost or non competitive due to major issues with the decision making around who to put on the court and who to keep on the court.
