I mean they still have Giannis and Brook who are both DPOY level defenders so the defense shouldn’t be this bad. You need to scheme around the personnel deficiencies which clearly wasn’t happening with the strategy he was using.

I don’t expect the defense to be what it was jrue for sure but somewhere in 10-15 range should be possible, not bottom third of the league.

That's only 2 players. If 3 out of 5 players can't defend, you think they're gonna be effective? Lopez can't stand in the paint like in college. Part of the reason they suck on defense is there is no effort being made. Griff lost the locker room early and he's never recovered. I watched early season games Bucks had bad body language. I guess it can't get worse at this point.
