The Sixth Person
Anton Watson
If Several operates a 3-guard lineup, he’ll use Anton Watson, “The Quiet Enforcer,” as the sixth guy to offer a spark off the bench. Watson is 6’8″ and weighs 225-kilos. When he will come into the recreation, Timme will participate in far more of a regular middle purpose.
A just one-two combo of Watson and Timme less than the boards really should frighten everyone in the WCC. On most other NCAA groups in the country, not only would Watsho be a starter, he’d be a focal place of the offense.
Final time Watson averaged 7.3 points and 4.7 rebounds for each match and shot 53.8% from the subject.
