Watson totaled 32 points (10-17 FG, 0-3 3PT, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in 40 minutes Thursday against the Cruise.
EDGE Analysis
Watson remained locked in from the field and also continues to contribute across multiple categories for the Gold. He's now 29-for-53 from the field through his first three contests of the G League campaign and has racked up eight total blocks and seven steals over that brief stretch.

Watson amassed 27 points (12-18 FG, 3-6 3PT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and four blocks in 41 minutes Sunday against Fort Wayne.
EDGE Analysis
Watson was nearly unstoppable in this one, and as a result, he rarely left the court. He was extremely efficient from the field and also was a monster on the defensive end by swatting away four shots and narrowly missing out on a double-double.

Watson finished Saturday's game against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants with 21 points (8-19 FG, 0-4 3PT, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, four steals and three blocks in 34 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Watson stuffed the stat sheet in this one, leading his team in scoring, steals and blocks in a 152-129 loss. The rookie forward appeared in four of Denver's first six contests of the 2022-23 campaign, but he's obviously going to see plenty more action in the G League, at least early on.

The Nuggets assigned Watson to the Grand Rapids Gold of the G League on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Watson has had a minimal role for the Nuggets this season, averaging 1.5 points and 0.8 rebounds in 2.3 minutes across four games. The 2022 first-round pick will be able to see more playing time to develop with the Gold.

Watson had two points (1-2 FG) across three minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Watson was selected 30th overall by the team in the 2022 NBA Draft, but he hasn't impressed the coaching staff enough in the early going to warrant consistent playing time. Having joined a fairly talented Nuggets roster, Watson may find it difficult to unlock considerable minutes this season.
