He has a chance to be a really good player.
Not the name I'm looking for.......yet........
A question for the insiders:
Are we targeting Euro players because they play a different game and are generally higher IQ and better tactically/technically or are we trying to tap into some lesser known resource pool before others do?

SC Derby is the new Peoria

We've recruited him a baker's dozen times preparing for this moment...
So ... where do you think Watkins ends up? And at what point do you think this mystery portal wing will simply stay at their current school (or just declare for the NBA Draft)?
andrej stojakovic should be entering very soon
from peoria to podgorica
Quincy Guerrier vibes for sure lol. And I would take Watkins just like we did QG lol.
That's all good but I thought we were all in on Euro
I think people under-estimate the talent in the G-League... Just look at the Windy City Bulls, one of the worst teams in the G.
Some familiar names:
Ryan Arcidiacono (Villanova)
Jahmir Young (Maryland...)
EJ Liddell (OSU)
Javon Freeman-Liberty (DePaul)
They could probably win a few games in the NCAA...

Kid has a lot of potential and would certainly please the “we need to get more athletic” crowd. Don’t think he’d be much of a contributor next year though. Would be a hell of a development player.
Why do people think he’s the mystery guy?

With the addition of Serbian backup PG option, more like former Yugoslavian all stars
Wonder if there is a connection between him and Sarr
The highest bidder. They don't love Watkins/Sarr together and Sarr is a higher priority (and way more likely). Want the two to fit better with Dame.
I've been learning alot from this board the past few weeks, let me try...
1. 3 inch vertical --Not athletic
2. Didn't see a lick of defense--Probably because he isn't athletic
3. He's from overseas--They are slow and not good athletes
4. He doesn't dunk--See number 1 above-- Not an athlete
5. His lateral quickness is a problem--Something something Athletic
6. Needs more fast twitch muscle fibers, he doesn't have that "Dog in him", slow lateral quickness, needs to be Fletched, not the "Athlete" we want, we can do better....
