How realistic is it to go from what we saw last night to elite?
You've regularly talked about getting that wing that allows everyone to slot into the right rotation making a difference and I don't think you've been wrong about that. They don't need a star level talent addition to get there, they just need to be able to stop giving minutes to Solo, Frazier, Jackson, etc. Even Miller is a negative unless it's a night he's hitting 4 or more 3s. If Clark can get back to being a good enough backup guard, Bazemore/Deadmon does solve a lot of problems and that's supposedly the fallback trade. Demps has made solid additions with in season moves 3 of the last 4 years.
I don't think you can judge this team based on 5 games where AD missed 3 games and played below average returning from injury in the 2 he did play. Especially when Payton was out as well. This is the definition of a small sample size that is compromised by unusual data points.

Small sample size refers to stats. Not style. Again, nothing in the stats or win-loss column worries me. Its HOW they are playing. And it started in the Clippers game. So, before the losing streak.
The iso ball is killing the offense and the defense has never been good. I can't even recall a single quarter this season since the Houston game where I saw the effort and communication that would lead to an average D.
Yes, a wing could help if everyone stays healthy. But my hopes of this becoming an elite team have gone out the window. Almost solely because Randle is showing his true colors.

The wing they need to help is a guy who can shoot, create some off the bounce, defend any number of perimeter guys, rebound, and help protect the rim. So basically, Kawhi
A Bazemore taking Hill's minutes and moving Moore to guard more often helps, but it doesn't solve the fundamental issue staring this team in the face:
Demps did a great job building a starting unit with complementary skill sets that makes sense given system and style of play. He hasn't gotten there with his bench units
Isn't that true of the first 2 games as well?
