Watson took another jump forward in his third season in the league, posting several career-high numbers while playing a meaningful role off the bench. He averaged 8.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.7 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in 68 regular-season outings. The 23-year-old also shot 47.7 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from three-point range. However, Watson shot just 69.3 percent from the charity stripe and has struggled with efficiency from the free-throw line during his NBA career. He should continue to operate as the primary backup to Aaron Gordon in the 2025-26 campaign, though Denver strengthened its second unit this offseason by adding Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Jonas Valanciunas. Watson's career-best year in 2024-25 was good for a 175th-place finish in eight-category leagues, but Denver remains a contending team and has bolstered its bench, meaning the UCLA product may not see the same production he saw last season. He has shown potential and should garner interest in the late rounds of fantasy drafts, especially in deeper leagues. However, his role isn't expected to increase in the final year of his rookie deal, making him a solid addition slightly before pick 200 in drafts.
