Point Guard
Played Last Season With Utah.
6'1'' 195lbs. 26. Career averages of 7.1 PPG and 4.5 APG. (4.3/3.5)
If there is ever a live action version of the movie "Dumbo", (see below) this guy will definitely get a call. In all seriousness, I love this guy as a back up to Chauncey. However, he ranks low on the list because I haven't even heard his name in the rumor of potential Knicks prospects. He is west-coast kid, he had a pretty decent season with Utah last year and has stated that he would like a long term contract. I don't think we will see this guy in a Knicks uniform, unfortunately.
[This kid has tremendous ears]The most intriguing thing about Watson, is that despite his diminished role in a guard stacked line-up (Williams, Bell, Price) he put up decent numbers. If you look at his per 36 minutes stats he averaged close to 8 points and 7 assists last year. He is a quintessential spark plug guy; a guy who can get in and make things happen in a hurry. Also, Watson is a decent sized dude who is known to be a capable defender. Also, his low salary last year makes him the type of dependable guy who will not give the Knicks a hard time about his projected role. If nothing else, he would be the first Blaxican to play in a Knicks uniform [fact check].
Player most likely to be waived to get this player: Andy Rautins.
