Carter Bryant, Cooper Flagg and Peyton Watson defensively
They have similar sizes, and they’ll operate as weakside help defenders most often.
According to Vecenie, Carter was the best defender in Summer League in years (though he forgot he saw Wemby, to be fair).
Cooper is expected to be an elite defender, while some say his offensive load could limit him somewhat and his vertical pop isn’t quite as strong.
Last year, Watson was the sole non-big among the top 20 shot blockers per 100 possessions (2.7).
How do you view Watson among these three?
