2022 NBA Draft scouting report: Peyton Watson

Our 2022 NBA Draft scouting report series pushes forward with a look at Peyton Watson, a wing out of UCLA.

As a consensus top-10 recruit in 2021, small forward Peyton Watson never quite found his footing at UCLA in his long collegiate season. Watson has elected to leave his name in for the 2022 draft, and he’s one of the more interesting wing prospects in the class.

ESPN ranks Watson as the No. 32 overall player in their best available, and as the No. 8 small forward in the 2022 class.
