Aktuelles: Peyton Watson Has More than Earned His Big Payday

One of the biggest question marks of the Nuggets’ offseason was how to handle Peyton Watson . Throughout his young career, the wing has been the root of a lot of drama—though not in the traditional sense. He’s had no off-court issues and, by all accounts, seems to be a wonderful young man.

However, his potential, due to his incredible physical tools, did not translate into consistent on-court production until this year, which led to much of the drama surrounding him. It already started with the team drafting him despite averaging just 3.3 points in his lone season at UCLA, to reportedly becoming a major point of contention between former GM Calvin Booth and former head coach Michael Malone. The front office strongly believed in Watson’s physical gifts and long-term upside and insisted he deserved more playing time. This clashed sharply with Malone’s old-school philosophy of earning minutes through merit, which is why Watson had to prove himself as a dependable contributor and therefore was not gifted an expanded role or minutes.
