I’ve seen Watson scare opponents first hand. He’s an elite game changing shooter. When Watson hits his first triple, opposing coaches might start sweating. Because when he hits 1, you’re almost assured that more will follow. Watson can catch fire and drop 3’s by the bunches.

Watson showed during grassroots season that he should be considered an elite shooter in the class of 2027. He was seen absolutely taking games over with his jumper from beyond the arc. The term ‘gamechanger’ accurately describes Watson and shit 3 ball.

Ever seen a fireworks show that people would describe as ‘pretty’? That would be the show that Watson puts on. When he starts unloading the cannon from behind the arc, it’s a beautiful display. Watson is simply a gamechanger with his jumper from deep.

Watson is coming off a huge spring grassroots season. He capped it off by scorching the nets at the Prep Hoops Michigan State Tournament. Watson fits the bill when you talk about electric shooters. He’s not tall, but he will always find the space he needs to get a clean look at the rim.

Watson has been making some noise lately and that continued this weekend. The Highland Premier 16u guard showed out at the Super 64 Classic over the weekend. Watson’s had a 17 point game that may have been his highlight moment. He showed that he can be a quick and shifty creator for himself and his teammates.
