With all of the new additions to the Nuggets’ roster this offseason, it’s hard to remember the guys from the bench who are returning from last season, like Peyton Watson. It’s easy to see a world where Watson gets lost in the shuffle and is fighting to stay in the rotation, but it’s also easy to see a world where he’s the key to the bench units, if he can just make his three-pointers.
Shooting is absolutely the swing skill for Watson this season. He has already proven to be a great defender and his length and athleticism allows him to guard on the perimeter and protect the rim in a way that nobody else on the roster can do.
