I want to go into it thinking every player we have is elite, and all they have to do is prove me right... I really haven't looked at that – different staff, different system.

Monken's clean-slate approach may shield Watson from accountability but carries risk if poor play continues.

Head coach Todd Monken is taking a 'clean slate' approach to Watson despite his documented decline, stating he hasn't looked at Watson's past performance and wants to go into the season thinking every player on the roster is elite and just needs to prove him right. Monken's philosophy is to take players at face value regardless of prior performance, though the source notes there is risk if Watson continues to play poorly and Monken remains stubborn about accepting Watson's decline as permanent.
