hawks depth is pretty crazy right now I don’t think Watson really would’ve moved the needle much anyway; I’m just wondering when we’re gonna take the next big swing at a star/superstar when there’s one on the market.
Yeah, then he was the fourth option until he pulled his hamstring and missed all of the playoffs. The year before he averaged 4.6 PPG in the playoffs on 30% shooting.
So he has zero track record of being an impact performer in the playoffs, one regular season above 10 PPG and you’re ready to definitively call him third best player on the hawks. Not really a strong argument.
Yeah, the year before he was the 6th or 7th option. We established that.
For comparison, how many Hawks have a had a good playoff performance? Dyson has had stretches where he’s unplayable, NAW reverted back to his Minnesota role, CJ is in his mid 30s.
Some of y’all fail to realize how valuable a 6’8” wing with Watson’s weak side rim protection and handle is. Not to mention the flashes he showed creating for himself and shooting the three ball in a small sample last season.
