After Denver Nuggets first round pick Peyton Watson struggled in the first game of Summer League, it was clear just how far he still had to go as a player before he could contribute to the Nuggets ultimate goal of winning a NBA title.
He was timid on both ends of the court, would get sped up, made bad decisions and was unable to showcase just how many gifts he has to give on a basketball court.
With that being said, everything flipped for Watson in Denver’s second game of Summer League.
Yes, on Sunday night Watson still had turnover issues, he missed defensive rotations, he rushed possessions and he had moments of bad decision making, but in addition to his shortcomings, all of the skills that made him such a tantalizing prospect for the Nuggets finally revealed themselves as well.
