Oh also the offense looks EXACTLY the same as post KD trade. Wait it looks worse cuz Mikal is getting 0 elbow touches.
Happy that the "need an off season" excuse has gone away. Everything is as clear as day. Bottom 5 coaching. Better than Nash (all time bad) but still trash.

A lot, maybe most of that, falls on Dinwiddie. He pounds it and take a late shot or makes a late pass for a rushed shot. It makes his assist to turnover ratio look great, but this team needs to get into early offense.

The problem is that aside from Bridges and DFS, the rest of our good defenders have offensive limitations (Claxton, DSJ, Simmons), and JV seems to favor offense over defense so this team is a lock to be bottom 10 defensively

2022-23 - 27 games, 26.1ppg (18.6 attempts) on 48%/38%/89% splits. 6.6 FTA's & 1.8 turnovers.
2023-24 - 12 games, 20.3ppg (16.6 attempts) on 45%/30%/84% splits. 4.3 FTA's & 2.5 turnovers.
He needs to improve his efficiency and turnovers. He also needs to increase his FTA's

The big dropoff is the three-point shooting, which is abnormally low right now.
Would like to see more aggression out of him though, he deferred too willingly to Cam early on.

To me what sticks out is his turn overs. He has lesser attempts (due to him deferring to Cam T), but his TOs increased by 40%. He tends to be sloppier with the ball with his iso attempts. JV needs to start setting him up with plays rather than allow him to create for himself, which is not ideal due to his offensive limitations.

Why are we blaming Dinwiddie as if this is not by design?
This is what the "offense" is supposed to look like.

Bridges is not an ISO player, last year was a fluke because teams didn’t game plan for him after the trade, he is not A2 or B1 type of a player , like you said he needs to be set and occasionally create or drive when opportunities are there , setting him up for an ISO it’s a failure, he is not that

No it's not. When Cam T and Ben are playing, you see the team trying to get into sets and attack much quicker. Dinwiddie does not pressure defenses consistently enough. He's indecisive and too turnover averse to be the primary PG.
