Anton Watson - Forward

2023-24 Statistics: 14.3 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.5 SPG, 57.8% FG, 40.4% 3PT

The 6-foot-8 fifth-year senior is Gonzaga's hybrid forward in its three-big-men lineup. He is a smart player who can score inside and occasionally pop a couple of 3-pointers if needed.

An athletic freak who can put the ball on the floor and score face-up baskets, Watson is consistently one of the top performers for Coach Few. He is the glue guy on the team who offers a diverse skill set with his underrated rebounding and passing abilities.

Watson should be matched up with KJ Adams, who could have issues with the uber-athletic forward. He was one assist shy of a triple-double vs. McNeese while totaling 13 points, 13 rebounds, and two steals.
