Watford has the size and skill set package to be a tough matchup for opposing defenses. In this elite camp setting, he showed the versaility to create off the dribble drive on possession then post up to score from the wing on the next.

Watford is strong bodied wing who can hit the open 3 or finish in the lane. His jumper release is not quite compact, but he can hit enough to keep defenders honest. His ability to post up and finish versus contact makes him an interesting prospect.

Watford is a talented wing forward with size and skill. He even showed defensive aptitude by guarding PJ Washington in this match up with Team Penny. Offensively he worked a lot in the pinch post and attacked the rim in straight lines. He finished scoring 13 points on 40% shooting while grabbing 5.5 rebounds per game.
