Expert Analysis
Miles Masercola | Prep Hoops Scout
Watkins had a really strong performance on Sunday in TLBA’s winning effort as he put his full offensive arsenal on display. Watkins has a slick off the bounce game that can lead to him getting separation from beyond the arc or shaking you and getting to the cup with ease. Watkins is a very confident three point shooter off the catch and he get’s a lot of those looks with this group. Watkins has had some injury stuff over the years but looks to be really getting all of that behind him as he starts to string together more and more notable performances. He’s got an effective and translatable game with his ability to make shots and operate efficiently with his dribble. Look for Watkins to assert himself as a D1 guy this spring/summer with TLBA.

Watkins is slowly emerging as the featured name to know with Team Ish on the NxtPro Hoops scene. He’s a scrappy guard who defends at a high level then really throws a wrench in gameplans with his ability to knock down shots at volume. He’s a sizeable guard at 6-foot-3 for DI and DII programs to get to know heading into the grassroots season.
