The biggest need for this team is a big man that can control the paint. There is absolutely nothing under the basket that opponents have to worry about. Way to many easy hoops by opponents. Randle is confused and lost defensively, Geeter is just not big enough or athletic enough, Billingsley seems disinterested, etc. Ballard should get some PT but my guess is that Heath is more focused on the future than the current.

This team also lacks intensity at the start of a game. It wasn't until about 5 minutes left in the game that they seemed determined to make something happen. Way to lackadaisical and that's on Heath.
