This just feels accurate to me. These are great players, good guys, just not vocal leaders that pull you up by your collar. I think this will be addressed in the off season too. Not saying Gio or Monahan are going anywhere (not sure about Brouwer) but I think there will be a few guys not afraid to stand up and speak their mind brought in, in addition to a coach that commands respect.
