I think he is better than Ainge or Broadus last year and Burgess is better than Rose/Balderson.

I'd agree with your assessment that they're better than last year's. I still think they struggle to get the ball inside and force entry passes from bad angles. But they are serviceable and efficient without taking aways shots as you stated. I do wish we could have someone who could break down a defense and penetrate if needs be. If we can continue to work the inside-out game though it won't be as critical, but it'd be a nice option.
I sound like a whiner. We're ranked with a chance to move up again in a week and a half. I should just be content.
