Which Gonzaga Bulldogs does Kansas need to be concerned about in the second round?
There are several key players on Gonzaga that could wreak havoc on the Kansas basketball defense.
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.
