    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>oint guard C.J. Watson has earned a second 10-day contract, according to Warriors coach Don Nelson.

    Watson has played in all five games since being called up from the NBA Development League on Jan. 8, and is averaging 4.4 points and two assists in 14. 6 minutes.

    "We're definitely going to sign him to another 10-day," Nelson said.

    "He's not intimidated by being up here. He plays his game under control. He's a quick learner, smart on the court."

    Watson, whose original contract expires today, is on track to get another five games to prove he can back up Baron Davis before the Warriors must sign him for the remainder of the season or release him.

    Watson credits assistant Stephen Silas for his successful crash course in Nellie-ball, and hopes to follow guard Kelenna Azubuike by sticking on an NBA roster.

    "I just wanted to make sure I did everything he wanted me to do," Watson said. "Kelenna is a very positive example of what can happen if you get an opportunity and make the best of it."</div>

    Good for him. He's much better impact than DJ Mbenga.
