It's difficult to judge the offense at this point for a few reasons.
1) No Collins. Allen is a capable substitute, but AC is still the general on the floor.
2) Fast pace. I think that the guys are still adjusting a little to the faster pace. Some of the turnovers and mis-timing is the result of this and it should improve with each game.
3) The new rules. Players, coaches and officials are still figuring out these new "freedom of movement" rules. I do hope the NCAA starts a reevaluation soon because the games are taking too long. They're getting more points, but most of them seem to be cheap FTs not actual offense.
As for defense, I think you're right. This is a long, quick, quick-handed, athletic team, that could really cause havoc as they sync up with each game.
