After winning Player of the Week, Denver Nuggets fans are asking if Peyton Watson is a growing star in the making? It’s a fair question with the way he’s stepped up. Without Nikola Jokic for the last seven games and Jamal Murray for a few of them, Watson has stepped up and thrived. He’s playing with the ball in his hands more, averaging a high number of points, and the Nuggets have stayed afloat.
On the latest Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to Peyton Watson winning Western Conference Player of the Week and discusses his career trajectory. Is this a star turn? Can Watson keep doing this for the Nuggets? Ryan also previews Denver’s road back-to-back against the New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks.
