Watson led his team to victory tonight. He might be a real steal in this class
This stopped playing at around 45 seconds for me, but it’s a good 45 seconds from last night. Watson looks tough.
I kinda forgot about Watson but I'm thinking he might actually play the most out of the freshman. If he's a decent 3 pt shooter he's got the length. Just needs to learn our defense
Texas Tech has 4-5 Damarion Watson's on the court at the same time. 6-7" to 6'8" who can guard 1-5. That's how you consistently are in the top 5 of KenPom in defense.
Can't wait for him to get on campus.

Exactly. You get 4-5 Watson type players on the court and you can switch every screen and essentially be impossible to score against.
After today, I hope King and the other freshmen can bring the long ball threat to the roster.
If Watson is a capable shooter from 3, and it appears that could be the case, he could be getting a ton of minutes right away. Same with King, especially if either of Kalscheur or Brockington leave. A little unsure how many minutes you can play Lipsey and Hunter together if neither will be great at shooting the ball but still excited for Lipsey nonetheless.
Watson went from the least notoriety of this class to the one I am most excited about, love his versatility.
I wouldn't classify King as a shooter yet. But he can put it on the floor and get to the rack which is another quality sorely missing from our offense.
He can't be any more inept than about 2/3 of the team at finishing near the rim. Or shooting open 3s
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he’s able to “put it on the floor and get to the rim” as a freshman in the Big 12 like the poster said.
Well of course.
The question is can he “put it on the floor and get to the rack which is another quality sorely missing from our offense”, as you stated earlier
Unfortunately Kunc can’t get a shot off while being guarded closely, doesn’t shoot enough! Today he shot 3 or 4 times in 25 minutes and didn’t score! That’s not the kind of help Brockington needs! No inside threat is hurting this team without any deep threats! We might need to play a high / low with Enaruna seeing a lot more minutes! Conditt is non existent! Jones and Enaruna together would be our best chance for offensive rebounds and put backs!

Grill can’t handle the ball, if he can’t catch and shoot he’s not much help! When he gets the ball and not shooting it’s like a hot potato and like freeks out!
