Thomas remains a quiet star, not vocal or commanding, and Burns, though playing well, appears to lead by example rather than vocal influence.

Baldinger emphasizes that such behavior is unprofessional, especially for a rookie who has yet to prove himself. He suggests that the failure to enforce discipline from the top reflects deeper issues within the team’s culture.
