Peyton Watson spent one season with the UCLA Bruins in the 2021-22 season. Averaging 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game on an uninspiring 32.2/22.6/68.8 shooting splits. Leading to people believing him inserting his name into the 2022 NBA Draft, to be a puzzling one. He only played 12.7 minutes per game in his lone season in Westwood. Often being a defensive spark and providing length for the team in Mick Cronin’s defensive schemes.
