#Cavs Head coach Kenny Atkinson shared an early point of emphasis for Evan Mobley to crash the glass and get out on the break, pushing the ball in transition. Atkinson thinks it’ll solve the two-big dilemma by forcing defenses to scramble and Jarrett Allen can act as a trailer

Yes please
Mobley running the court with options to pass to would be a thing of beauty
A coach that game plans around the full roster is so shocking after JB.
And it’s not even a question of whether Mobley can do this. We’ve seen it. It’s just been rare so far.
“Crash the glass, and get out on the break”
Does he mean he wants Evan to bring the ball up when he gets a rebound?
You can’t do both of the above unless you are leading the break
Otherwise they are contradictory points, like saying we want a player to increase their usage and decrease their TOs
I think that is what he means but i’m just in shock a coach of the cavs finally sees Evan the way I do
I’ve been adamant since we before we drafted him (can link scouting report) that Evan’s guard backgroud from growing up is still there (handle, passing, face-up, rebound to fast break layup), would love a coach that leans into that
Man, Evan is so poised to breakout this year
We tried to play faster last year with mixed results.
