Great look by Ethan into the Watson defensive impact and how lineup structure and the bigs could change how Watson plays defense (and where his impact is at).
Otherwise, not sure there’s been a starting lineup historically with three guys with a 3%+ BLK%.
Peyton Watson played alongside one of the best players of his generation.
But he’s never played with a frontcourt like the one in Cleveland.
Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley could give Watson the freedom to do even more — and the #Cavs are counting on it.

The summer of change continues in Cleveland, this time with a shakeup of the front office.
Brandon Weems is now the general manager, while Jon Nichols, Brendon Yu & José Calderón take on expanded roles after Mike Gansey’s departure earlier this offseason.

Ten years ago, I posted about my experience on 9/11. #NeverForget
I don't speak much about 9/11. It's still very raw, even now. I was working in DC & my mom called me & said "turn on the TV." #NeverForget

I went long on why Walter Thompson-Hernández’s IF I GO WILL THEY MISS ME, starring Danielle Brooks and J. Alphonse Nicholson, is such an outstanding film.

Good article by @EjElite1 on the Cavs bet on Mobley this summer by reaffirming their commitment to him.
A lot is put on Mobley (as it should) to progress offensively but that also must be supported by a structured plan to optimize his skill set.
