Alam Mo Ba?
Watson was selected 24th overall despite averaging just 7.4 PPG at UCLA — his draft position was driven entirely by physical tools and defensive projection, not college production.
His wingspan is reported at nearly 7 feet, giving him extraordinary reach that makes him a legitimate defensive disruptor even when not in optimal defensive position.
Watson grew up in Long Beach, California, in a basketball-rich environment that produced multiple NBA players, which shaped his competitive development from an early age.
Despite being one of the youngest players on Denver's 2023 championship roster, Watson was on the bench in uniform for the clinching Game 5 against Miami, adding his name to the championship record.
