He’s lost benefit of the doubt until something happens. If he pulls something other than run it back I will be the first to congratulate him.
Hopefully you are wrong. But the majority of this draft, including the top guys, are not guaranteed success at all. One & Done has made the Draft more of a crapshoot than ever before, and most of these guys will take years to show a return on investment.
He just a player we will try develop just like Brown. Both these will go down to the CBA and play down there a lot.
I'm pretty sure he's the younger brother of Christan Watford who played at Indiana with Oladipo. The same problem existed for Christian as well with the similar skillset.
His style is a throwback to the 80's and 90's. My first impression watching his film was Adrian Dantley. Not as good, but their games are very similar.
Follow up tweets: "WTF?" "Are ALL these people homeless?" "Do ANY Black people live here???" "The donuts are pretty good..."
He will need to drive all the way out to Sandy for Joe's Donuts if he wants great donuts. None of that gross voodoo donuts stuff.
Since two ways were introduced the only player Portland has converted to a standard contract was Wade Baldwin. Blevins is hopeless, so will Watford break the streak?
Does Watford not kinda remind anyone else of Nance? Same size. Good instincts, especially defensively. Doesn’t offer a ton offensively but does little things. I like him over Zeller as a third string five. We’re gonna have a ton of roster spots to fill next season (or after the deadline,) and I’d be surprised if he wasn’t one of them.
Not me. Nance is very athletic. Lack of athleticism probably was one of the biggest things that kept Watford from being drafted. I think Nance has a more solid frame than Watford, too. Not meaning to downplay your opinion. I just don't see him that way. I think of him more like the Wake Forest kid we had on the two-way a couple of years ago ... Hoard?
Watched yesterday’s game again just because on first watch it looked like watford was just dominating defensively and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just the weed taking over. He really was out there balling, denying much bigger (or at least taller) guys position, crashing the boards, active hands, doing all these fun little things. I know Nance is great athlete on paper but he doesn’t really play above the rim, at least not how he did earlier in his career. I still think the two have a lot of similarities with how they play. I think it also says something that a two way guy has jumped ahead of a vet like Snell who Billups seemingly trusted. I’d be shocked if he didn’t get a standard contract
