Expert Analysis
Tony Roe | Prep Hoops Scout
A bouncy 6-6/6-7 forward with length and soft hands, Watters burst onto the scene as a freshman at the state tournament, and has been an incredibly productive player for the Sabers for the last two seasons in a starring role. He has good footwork and touch around the rim, and is able to step out and stretch the floor as a shooter and playmaker. He averaged 16.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.2 blocks on nearly 53% shooting as a junior.

A rim-running 6-7/6-8 big man, Watters is a fluid athlete who can switch defensively and hold his own as well as step out and stretch the floor on the offensive end. He provides versatility and athleticism on both ends of the floor, averaging 16.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.9 blocks on 53% shooting as a junior.

An athletic 6-6/6-7 forward, Watters put up 23 points on 10-16 shooting (1-3 3P, 2-5 FT) to go with 4 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal, and a block in the Sabers loss to Mount Vernon last Monday. He’s a mobile big man with good footwork and soft touch around the rim with either hand. He has a few go-to moves on the block, and is developing counter moves to go with them. The most encouraging part of his performance, however, was his willingness to step out and stretch the floor. The form on his jumper looks smooth, with a high release and good rotation. If he’s able to add a bit of consistent range and become even a 34-35% 3-point shooter, it will be huge for his development.
