Mailbag: What to do about the youngsters?

The Golden State Warriors had a rare three straight home off days this week, so it seemed like a good time for a mailbag. Thanks to everyone for the questions.

What’s the diagnosis for the disgusting defense? Is it effort level, scheme, or both? As an example, too often I’m watching a high ball screen and Wiggins or Klay just routinely go under them leaving too much space for opposing shooters. It’s maddening sometimes.

A year after finishing second in the league in garbage time adjusted defensive rating, the Warriors have plummeted to 25th.
