Film Study: Peyton Watson’s Strong Debut with the Grand Rapids Gold

Nuggets rookie Peyton Watson was recently assigned to the Grand Rapids Gold, the Nuggets’ G-League affiliate. This was so that he could get more reps in and develop by playing in games — something that wouldn’t be happening if they kept him on the main roster. This opportunity for him brings an opportunity for us to get to see his game develop in the open, and in his first two games he’s made the most of those opportunities — averaging 24 points per game, 8.5 rebounds per game, 3.5 assists per game, 3 steals per game, and 3.5 blocks per game.
