Improving the defense will come from personnel.
Not sure how much it would take, but Tony Allen is a guy I would love to get to have the young guys learn from.

Draft Ausitn/Oladipo(very hopeful, doubt we can get both), AV comes back and we have the makings of a vastly improved D next year.

Zeller has had some good shots blocked and is one of the best in the league in drawing the charge. But is defense something that he has to be taught or something that will improve if he puts on more muscle?
The defense is pretty hopeless, we should be talking about that offensive jump.
Our team FG% is still crap (28th), but some of the things driving our climb would seem to be: 3pt% (12th), ORB (5th), STL (10th), TOV (13th), and PF (4th).
There is a statistic that accounts for this, isn't there? Like team ORB%? Just wondering if we are actually a good offensive rebounding team, or if we are a good offensive rebounding team because we have so many chances to grab them...
