When I reviewed a post-game box score last season, I was usually surprised by Anton Watson’s stats. Either by how well he played or how he seemingly disappeared.
As a freshman, Watson started his first four games at Gonzaga. Killian Tillie was injured, and Mark Few gave Anton the nod over some Texas kid named Timme. Watson was quick to impress; in his first three college games, he scored a combined 32 points, grabbed 21 rebounds, dished 8 assists with 5 steals and 3 blocks. Out of the gate, Anton demonstrated the ability to just fill the stat sheet.
