The Turnovers Are The Biggest Problem

This team is turning the ball over at an even higher rate than last year even though they've gone from top 5 pace to bottom 5 pace, 16.7 TOs per game vs. 16.4 per game last season.
Fixing the turnovers has been one of the team's main focuses along with fixing the defense. New coach, new focus, worse results. It feels like this team may not get on track until they get a new lead guard in place.
Before you go saying that lead guard is on the bench, which is something I hope too, Kira averaged 3.5 TOs per game last season at Alabama. I wonder if that is part of why he isn't getting any minutes yet.

Yeah, before the season, we were hoping that Lonzo might improve and we hoped that Bledsoe could be a good PG for us.
Instead of two PGs, it turns out that we have none. We miss Jrue so much.

I think the turnovers are due to a lack of spacing forcing the guards and wings to create when they aren't fast or shifty enough to do so, or just flat out refuse to do it (Lonzo). I've seen more bad dump offs in the paint and our bigs cannot and should not be forced forced handle those.
The quickest solution I see is starting JJ and benching Lonzo, you'll create that space, even though it forces Bledsoe into more of a pg role I trust him over Lonzo at this point to make the right decision.

Our 3 point defense is the biggest reason for every single loss. Our rotations look absolutely awful. There is someone open on the 3 point line on every possession, and of course its always someone who bricks those same shots against everyone else but then shoots lights out against us.

They are gassed by the 4th. The lack of energy is preventing the team from closing.
