Nuggets forward star: If I shoot 5 times per game and hit all of them, I can score 14 points

Denver Nuggets forward star Peyton Watson recently appeared on the podcast of The Young Man And The Three, where he also talked about his position on the team.

Watson said: If I only shoot 5 times on the court in each game and I can hit all of these 5 shots, then with the free throws, I can score 14 points in this game. 14 points are already a great support for our team, because there are many other scorers in our team. Nikola Jokic will score 30 points, Jamal Murray will score 25 points, Michael Porter Jr. will score 18 points, and Aaron Gordon will also score some points, so we will be very guaranteed on the offensive end. From my point of view, I just try my best to play more efficiently.

In the NBA regular season last season, Watson made a total of 68 appearances in 82 games, averaging 24.4 minutes per game, averaging 8.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 47.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 69.3%. In the playoffs, Watson played 14 games in total, with averaging 14.2 minutes per game, averaging 4.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.6 blocks. He also had 0.6 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.7%, his three-point shooting percentage was 36.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 50%.

Watson's performance last season was only considered a sloppy. He was able to play some results during the regular season. He was able to get some points on the offensive end and maintain stable offensive efficiency. He was able to take on a lot of responsibilities on the defensive end with his super physical talent and athletic ability. He was an all-round player with both offense and defense. He could also play a good effect on both offense and defense. However, in the playoffs, Watson's performance was shocking. His performance was a mess. His offensive efficiency was very poor. He could be said to have seriously dragged the team down on the offensive end. Watson did not have a good effect, which also led to the team's substitute lineup being insufficiently competitive and eventually being eliminated. I wonder what the 22-year-old young star will perform next season. Can he learn from his lessons from the playoffs last season and further improve his performance?
