The 23-year-old Watson averaged 14.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game last season for the Bulldogs while shooting an impressive 57.8% from the floor. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder also shined as a defender during his five-year college career, finishing second in school history in steals (215) second only to John Stockton.
C fans will get to see Scheierman and Watson for the first time when the NBA Summer League begins on July 12 in Las Vegas.
