Anton Watson is officially heading back home for his fifth season and it could be the most important offseason move for the Zags. His terrific on-ball defense and rim protection will provide experience and versatility to a team that will look very different than it did last season.
With Drew Timme moving on, Watson is going from the glue guy to the face of the program. He averaged 11.2 PPG, 6.2 RPG, and 2.4 APG last season and you can expect those numbers to jump with his very much bigger role post-Timme era.
Anton Watson comes into the upcoming season as arguably college basketball’s most underrated player.
