Peyton Watson Steps Into Crucial Starting Wing Role for Cavaliers

Acquired to solidify Cleveland's wing position, 24-year-old Peyton Watson brings a 6'8" frame and 7'1" wingspan to the Cavaliers' starting lineup. Ranking in the 97th percentile as a perimeter isolation defender last season alongside 41% three-point shooting, Watson must prove his shooting efficiency wasn't a fluke while refining his playmaking and finishing at the rim to help anchor a lineup featuring James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley.
