Watson provided eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 assists, four rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes in Friday's 114-106 preseason win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

With D.J. Augustin (rest) being held out Friday, Watson received the chance to run with the second unit and nearly challenged for a double-double in limited playing time. He was far more effective while playing 12 fewer minutes than starting point guard Elfrid Payton, but it's unlikely to change his standing heading into the regular season. As the third-string option at his position when Payton and Augustin are healthy, Watson probably won't be included in coach Frank Vogel's rotation most nights.
