Anton Watson was probably the most polarizing player on the court for Gonzaga this season. Some fans never saw what they wanted from him. Other fans loved his defensive effort and energy and thought he should play more minutes. Like most things, the truth lies somewhere in between.
Watson started 17 of the first 18 games this season coming off a shoulder injury that ruined his freshman year. Eventually, Andrew Nembhard took that starting spot, and Watson went from 21 minutes a game to 15 minutes a game.
The Spokane native had stretches all season long where he looked like the most impactful player on the court.
