The only prob I have is him being a 5 yr player with less tape than austin rivers at duke. GIVE ME SOMETHING!

If Watson can defend, rebound and not turn the ball over it's a win.

Congratulations to Anton Watson and welcome to Boston!

I tried not to complain about it because I'm tired of being annoyed by ESPN, but I can't get over how ridiculous that draft coverage was.

I imagine it would have been cool for Anton and his family if they'd at least said his name out loud on television. They were hyping Bronny and completely ignored the other young men drafted before and after the Lakers pick. Absurd and embarrassing.

Fits the mold. At 54, I'll take length and bbiq and being told to "let it fly" shooting.

More steals than turnovers in college career.

Sometimes two-point percentage is under rated but he killed it inside the arc for a long time.

I hate espn so that they were going to overhype this whole bronny situation to an intolerable level seemed predestined.

Worse yet, they acted like it was a total shock and so surprising it could happen like we were all so anxious to see it. Reality is that was the most predictable thing of the entire draft.

Watson was also 76% at the rim this past season..an extremely high number.

Probably only like 1 or 2 guys in this draft class who were higher (if that)..

I have searched highlights, they are short and the same. There are a few game videos, probably more but further down than I want to go, I want more compilations. I blame it on mixtapes being popular, it's made me lazy. :lol:
