IMO, you saw what kind of individual pieces this team has. But there were some characteristic and uncharacteristic issues that led to the loss.
The FT shooting is a concern.
That jumped out right away when I looked at the stats - and from what you are saying it's been sub-par in all 3 exhibitions?

Sub-par would be a vast improvement. They are averaging shooting 58% from FT line in the first 3 games. For context, the WORST FT shooting team in the country last year averaged 64%
I'm confident that number will improve. But it is somewhat concerning given (a) FT shooting is more of an individual act - one doesn't need to create chemistry with new teammates to be a good FT shooter and (b) several of the guys in the expected rotation are not good FT shooters for their careers:
Dent - 71% (but only one year of 4 above 70%)
Ugochuckwu - 61%
Dioubate - 60%
Ruzic - 56%
Dessert - 48%

I 100% agree, someone that is on a major college team has almost certainly been playing organized ball for in most cases 10 year are more - if they have not been able to establish a free throw shooting routine in that time that can at least make them serviceable - that's a concern.

Have to get Ruzic the stop cocking the ball behind his head, Dent just needs a little arc on his shot. Dioubate has a middle hitch especially when he gets tired. Just some mechanical things with those 3 that can be fixed pretty easy.
