I can’t see him getting drafted this year. Has a lot of improvement to be and nba player. I do think he can get there, but he was a liability at times, particularly on defense. Not enough of a scoring threat to overcome that and get minutes IMO

He may make a team one day, but I don't see him being a contributor. He's too slow to play PF in the NBA and too short to play center. He's too much of a tweener. Emmitt has a similar problem. Not skilled enough to play small forward and not big enough to play PF or center.

Agreed, and this is not a knock on Watford. Unless you are an elite prospect you need to be extraordinary in one area (athleticism, defense, 3pt shooting) in order to make a roster. Watford is average to above average in all categories but nowhere skilled enough for the NBA right now

He will be a second rounder. Easily.
