Peyton Watson is a 21-year-old sophomore out of UCLA, who currently plays for the Denver Nuggets.
Although his stats may not jump out at you, if you pay closer attention to his minutes on the court, you’ll find that Peyton has a ton of potential. He just need consistent minutes in order to figure it all out. And he may have those minutes on the Denver Nuggets.

What do you think of Peyton Watson after his career high 17 point performance against the Thunder??
Watson has really locked in and helps to make our bench terrifying. I was one of those guys who was saying we'd have no bench this year. I'm eating crow now and it's never tasted so good. He (and our 2nd unit) was amazing today against OKC. I'm psyched for him and our season right now.
These rookie contracts are so valuable for a championship team. Doubt we will be able to extend all of them when the time comes, but that's a while from now.
Depending on what MPJ does at the end of his contract, I'd love to see PWat fill in that SF role in a few years' time. Until then, I think he's going to show how versatile and cerebral of a player he can be.
I’m so happy right now, nuggets fan here.
Really well done video. CB and P-Swat along with Reggie and Zeke, so far, looking like a far more impactful bench than last season. The League's gotta be nervous.
He has been showing he is willing to do what Bones Hyland did not have the patience to deal with.
Both Payton broun great help for Denver next to KCP end GORDON❤❤❤
I think he's getting more and more comfortable letting the game come to him. He's gonna be a star.
I really want to call Watson the Big Cat SWAT.
You no this season is already over right

well done, a nice analysis 👍
I feel like everyone's jumping the gun a bit on PWat. This stretch is a good peek at what it can look like if he puts it all together, but I'm expecting him to come back down to earth. But so far he's at least earning his minutes so he can keep developing, and I feel a lot better about him than I did after Summer League and preseason.
