physical tools that many of others don't have.

A big part of individual defense is just mental focus for good positioning and keeping the mental focus up (e.g., don't let yourself get beat on a backdoor play). Didn't we see Catchings get beat backdoor in game 1?

Catchings has a way to go for that, but certainly he could make up some ground quickly there.

For the stats broadcast analytical ratings for game 1, Catchings was rated as our 7th best defender.
