Brooks patiently waited for Flynn to fly by, and then he darted along the baseline into the paint, rising up for a two-handed hammer.</p><p>Except it never came.</p><p>Suddenly, there was Watanabe, <a href="https://twitter.com/hoops_bot/status/1463721042350804994?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1463721042350804994%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1566934action%3Dedit">skying to meet him at the summit</a> despite being fresh off a – calf injury that had kept him sidelined since the preseason. It was impossible in that moment (and for the entire night, really) to tell that he had ever been hobbled, though—the power and strength in his execution was breathtaking, managing to prevent the dunk with just one extended hand.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Yuta Watanabe blocks Dillon Brooks dunk attempt <a href="https://t.co/mNHu2GxJdw" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/mNHu2GxJdw</a></p><p>— hoops bot (@hoops_bot) <a href="https://twitter.com/hoops_bot/status/1463721042350804994?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 25, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>“I told you guys,” Watanabe said during Raptors post-game. “I jump anytime. If I have the chance 100 times I will jump 100 times. That’s what I do.”</p><p>Initially, the play was ruled a foul on Watanabe, but Raptors head coach Nick Nurse challenged the call immediately, and once officials went to review it was evident that the block was clean.</p><p>“I mean, thank god coach challenged the call and we won it,” Watanabe added. “But that’s something I can bring to the team—hustle, energy, stuff like that.”</p><p>While stopping Brooks cold in mid-air will deservedly get top-billing on all of the highlight reels, it wasn’t even the former Grizzly’s first rejection of the game. He had already flashed his marquee defensive instincts during his first stint in the game, when he swatted away a Tyus Jones floater attempt after he split two defenders to penetrate the paint.</p><p>“[It was] good to be back here,” Watanabe said. “Good to play against my old teammates. Everything was like perfect tonight.”</p><p>This, of course, isn’t the first time Watanabe’s made a dramatic defensive play for the Raptors (or attempted to make a play) at the rim. Last season, in a barnburner against the Orlando Magic, he leapt straight up to send back center Nikola Vucevic. He also, now rather infamously, tried to block the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, though that one didn’t go quite as well.</p><p>Even so, Watanabe’s fearlessness and legitimate acumen for protecting the rim is part of what makes him such a likeable character, and what makes his role on the Raptors (who are lacking when it comes to backline defense) so vital.</p><p>“If I have more chances in the future,” Watanabe said, “I’m definitely jumping again and no matter what happens I’m just gonna keep hustling and keeping bringing energy to the team.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He raised his stock dramatically in his first playoff series. In five games against the top-seeded Utah Jazz, Brooks averaged 25.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists on a 51-40-80 shooting split.</p><p>Unlike Brooks, who’s a score-first type of player, Anderson contributes in multiple areas. He’s a savvy forward who also enjoyed a banner campaign last season with averages of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/kyle-anderson/aacb08fc/stats">12.4 points</a>, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game on a 36% 3-point clip.</p><p>Parting ways with Nance Jr. would be a tough pill to swallow for the Cavs, though. He’s established himself as a fan favorite and a respected locker room voice in a young team. He also possesses a valuable skillset on both ends of the floor. To recall, there was a point last season when Nance led the league in deflections.</p><p>The Cavs need this deal more than the Grizzlies. However, they shouldn’t resort to <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-rumors-opposing-teams-plotting-screw-trades/">desperate measures</a> just yet.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But like the veteran team that they are, the Jazz battled back to win it by double digits, 121-111.</p><p>Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks, who had himself a night with 27 points, was asked about the trouble they had defending Utah’s ball handlers. Brooks then pointed out Rudy Gobert’s uncalled illegal screens as the main culprit behind what makes perimeter defense so hard:</p><blockquote>“It’s a moving screen every time he screens, and somehow we have to fight our way over top of it.” (<a href="https://twitter.com/DrewHill_DM/status/1398857983610732545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1398857983610732545%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost-new.php">via</a> Drew Hill from the Daily Memphian)</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Dillon Brooks said Rudy Gobert is setting a moving screen every time.</p><p>— Drew Hill (@DrewHill_DM) <a href="https://twitter.com/DrewHill_DM/status/1398857983610732545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 30, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Brooks in particular drew the brunt of one of Jazz center’s imposing screens, which even resulted in a technical from Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Dillon Brooks said the Jazz are doing moving screens every single time but the Grizzlies have to keep fighting through them and stop fooling jump shooters no matter what. </p><p>He was glad Taylor Jenkins got a tech defending him on a screen by Gobert he was called for a foul on</p><p>— Evan Barnes〽️ (@evan_b) <a href="https://twitter.com/evan_b/status/1398858379548889089?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 30, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>For what it’s worth, Rudy Gobert finished the game with a total of five fouls.
