We have a top 2-3 defense in the league. We lost Richardson but gained Derrick White, so I'll call it a wash.
The bench, being young and not defensive oriented might be our achillles heal -- but they can negate their defensive deficiency by being really good offensively.
The bench hasn't been producing many points (and that was with Schroder). We're going to need them to now.
Nesmith, now is the time to prove you're a flamethrower. Romeo won't be taking up your minutes anymore. Howzah, you're not going back to Maine anymore, so quit looking over your shoulder, and just knock 'em down. Luke, now's your chance to make your impact. Your shooting ability, especially from the 5 spot is much needed.

Yeah the bench needs to step up significantly. No more excuses that we have too many young guys we're trying out. We know the names that are coming off early... Horford, Grant, Pritch, Nesmith.
That assumes our starting 5 is White, Smart, Brown, Tatum, RWill.
So with a shorter rotation and more playing time, these guys on the bench have to start contributing either offensively or be able to keep up any defensive pressure so that when the starters sit, we don't start bleeding.
