A solid first season at Michigan State saw Watts named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team after averaging 9.0 points per game to go with 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists.
While Watts’ sophomore season saw a bit of regression statistically, the move provides Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland with another talented option at point guard.
