Justin Rowan

Like he likes to get that deep post positioning and score in those situations.

Joel Embiid is a completely different animal.

So he's had success making a variety

you know better and I think that gives me some hope that he's going to be able to help Evan Mobley get back to where he was last season and then build upon that we're going to take a quick break and when we come back we're going to look at some of the problems that Cleveland might run into the rest of the regular season and when we hit the playoffs

I do have some concerns defensively.

You know, James Harden does a pretty decent job at the point of attack.

The tracking data, if I look at like the b-ball index stats and stuff like that, it's a little bit behind where Darius was last year, but it's ahead of where Darius was this year playing through the toe injury.

And it is better than Donovan Mitchell, let's say, right?

Like you're not going to be able to attack him in a soft switch as easily as teams would with Darius.

And that was kind of,

One of those really frustrating things was Kenny Atkinson loves to give up the soft switch.

So when you were playing Boston, it would take one screen for Jason Tatum to be on Darius Garland.

And it's a plague in the NBA, the soft switch.

Even though he held up great in those spots and the field goal percentage for Tatum was not good in those situations.

It is still tiring for a six one guard to just get posted up and give up mid range shot after mid range shot.

Harden's not going to kind of allow that.

But the off-ball attentiveness for both Harden and Mitchell is a concern of mine.

The other thing is, if you're going to kind of... Let's say you're running into a red-hot Jalen Brunson.

You want to get someone that can shut him down at the point of attack, that can be a stopper.

I think Keon Ellis can fit that role.
