When Bishop O’ Connell senior and Providence commit Nate Watson steps onto the floor, he immediately stands out. At 6’8 and 250 lbs, he is an imposing figure for any opposition.
Of course, while facing against an Our Lady of Good Counsel team who featured no player taller than 6’6, this should be the case.
Physically, Watson is ready for the next level. In terms of his actual play, here are three takeaways from watching the future Friar live.
While his minutes were limited due to foul trouble, Watson still showed glimpses of quality play. Scoring nine points on six shots, the senior was double teamed for the majority of the game.
