Scouting Report

Assets
  • Watson is an aggressive defender who can change the tempo of a game by forcing an opposing point guard to make bad decisions or take difficult shots. Although not a true offensive threat, Watson does have solid range.
Flaws
  • Watson needs to expand his offensive arsenal. Also, his free-throw shooting is not great for a point guard and he is not much of a rebounder, despite his solid defensive play.
Career Potential
  • A solid back-up, but lacking the all-around skills to start.
