The Nuggets, Lakers, and Celtics all reportedly interested in this intriguing player.
This player is being watched by the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, and Denver Nuggets.
Following their early playoff exit, the Denver Nuggets are actively seeking ways to bolster their
roster for the upcoming season. One avenue they’re exploring is making savvy draft picks, with the team holding the 28th and 56th overall selections in this year’s NBA Draft.
During a recent conversation with Cole Forsman of Gonzaga Nation, NBA prospect Anton Watson
disclosed that he has scheduled pre-draft workouts with multiple teams, including the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Boston Celtics.
Watson expressed his confidence heading into these workouts despite a recent ankle injury, stating,
“When I go to these workouts I’m more confident than last year. I feel good going into these
workouts. Even with this ankle injury, I just got to stay positive and everything moves super fast.”
During his tenure at Gonzaga, Watson maintained solid averages of 9.6 points per game (PPG) and
5.2 rebounds per game (RPG). However, he notably improved these figures in his final season, boasting averages of 14.5 PPG and 7.1 RPG.
Reflecting on the feedback he’s received from NBA teams, Watson shared, “They kind of said, to
find my place in the league or my calling card is gonna be like one of those guys that does a little bit
of everything. They’ve seen that I’ve improved from the 3-point line, but they want me to take more
of them. Proving that in these workouts is huge and having the highest motor out on the court. I
gotta be that guy every time, so that’s just something that they kind of told me.”
