What a great pick, he can do a bit of everything, love the way he can drive/finish and defend multiple positions already.

Cow,

Watson averaged 11.8ppg, 5.2rpg, 1.6apg in Summer League.  He shot 51.1% from the field and 35% from 3.  Those are solid numbers for a rookie in his first SL.


He also moved his feet on defense.  Had a good eye for angles and how to stay in front of his man, pick up players on rotations when they come off of picks.  


However, I do not think he will get a roster spot, certainly not right away.  A combination of luxury tax and Brad wanting to wait to see where we might have a late season injury will result in Watson getting a two-way contract and living in Maine.  Depending upon those injuries, and how well he plays in G-League, may result in him landing a roster spot in April.  It happened to Queta last season, it can happen to Anton Watson too.

Gotta love Brads ability to find diamond in the rough type guys this late in the draft.

Cow,


When Brad was at Butler he had to find those type of talents, he wasn't going to recruit the top players.  They were all going to Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, etc.


Watson is listed as 6'8" in bare feet.  He has a 7' wingspan, which is a 1.05:1 ratio to his height, and that's really good.  He has an 8'9" standing reach.


If he can get his 3pt fg% in Maine up to 38% (he shot 35% in SL), then he's got a shot (no pun intended). A 6'8" player that cannot hit 3s will probably be left in the oven to cook a little more.

Jaylen Brown-A$AP Ferg song, explained: Celtics star and rapper surprise NBA fans with 'Just Do It' track

Celtics star Jaylen Brown is redefining the parameters of being a do-it-all wing.

Months after earning Finals MVP honors, Brown has tapped in with multiplatinum recording artist A$AP Ferg to release a single titled "Just Do It."

Brown, 27, is one of the most interesting men in the NBA. With a wide range of off-the-court endeavors to his name, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that he decided to display his artistry in the music realm.

Here's everything you need to know about the latest collaboration between Ferg and the Finals MVP.


Jaylen Brown-A$AP Ferg song, explained

On Aug. 22, an X (formerly Twitter) account titled @OnThinIce teased an Aug. 23 release of a single by Brown and Ferg. The report was consistent with a July TikTok video documenting Brown's time in the studio.


Brown dropped the official music video with Ferg on his YouTube page on Aug. 22. You can watch it below.





Despite the song's title, Brown makes no mention of Nike, a brand that has the tagline, "Just do it." Brown has taken issue with Nike in the past and has been vocal about his issues with the brand.

While the song may appear like it has come out of left field, it is one that is years in the making.


Jaylen Brown-A$AP Ferg relationship, explained

Brown and Ferg have maintained a close relationship for the majority of Brown's NBA career.

In 2019, Ferg gifted the Celtics star a custom chain and pendant to celebrate his 23rd birthday. Two years later, the two collaborated on a court project at the famed Rucker Park in Harlem, N.Y., where Ferg hails.

Ferg is also no stranger to the TD Garden sideline, where he has supported Brown from courtside seats.

Ferg even foreshadowed what was to come in 2021.


Whether or not Brown's rap career is one-and-done remains to be seen, but he joins a long list of NBA stars who can at least have some fun in the studio. Perhaps we could see Brown collaborate with another NBA player next.
