Watson is a competitive guard that thrives on an opportunity to compete. Defensively has a nose for the ball with a high motor. One of the most dynamic guards I saw today with the rock in his hands. Showed ability to split defenders after PnR scenario, draws contact once in lane, hesitates, provides low quick crossovers to get defender off balance, and overall changes speeds to win his location. Has a reliable mid-range game from 15 feet. Will share it on drive and kick reads or pitch aheads in transition. Generates positive plays as a selfless playmaker that battles to win.

Watson has developed a stronger frame than before and it’s translated to increased production for Thornwood. He had a very strong showing on both ends. Pass-first guard dished out lots of assists while also finding his way as a slasher to the rim. Effective on the glass with his bounce and long arms. Also showed off a nice jumper as the game progressed. A great all-around prospect.
