After slow-cooking on JV as a sophomore, Watson started to pop out mid summer and is carrying that into the fall. In one sense, he’s a classic rim-running defender. He makes splash plays rolling to the rim for dunks, getting putbacks, and blocking shots. But there’s more to him than that, particularly on defense. When he’s doubling the ball-handler or brought into ball-screens, Watson gets super active with his hands. He regularly creates havoc with deflections or outright steals the ball and takes it coast-to-coast.
