I'm pretty comfortable with Brown defending most 4s in the competition. Every year the LMA/Blake style PF becomes less fashionable. Brown has the length and core strength to handle the Siakam types. It might actually be preferable for him given the issues he's had with smaller quicker players, similarly to Smart. Plus, he seems to bite on less pump fakes defending bigger guys ;D

I look to Grant to play more minutes, hopefully. Would love to see him at around 20mpg. His defensive ability is good, and his shooting is much better when he plays 20 or more minutes.

It's hard to figure out our front-court rotation. We have Tatum, Brown, Nesmith, Theis, Thompson & Williams x 2 all vying for minutes. I look to lots of situational depth charts, which is fine by me!

I agree PF or PF/C is the weakness on the team, not SF.  I could easily see tatum playing some SF with a 2 big line up of TT and say a collins , bertrain, maarken, etc type

The premise of this thread is strange since Hayward wasn't a PF and rarely guarded them last year.
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick
