Who is CJ Watson?
Earlier today sources have reported that CJ Watson has
verbally agreed to a 2-year deal with the Pacers. This is not a big name that
people will immediately recognize but he is definitely a good pick up. He
played early in his career at Golden State and had some productive years before
then going to Chicago where he backed up Derrick Rose, and last year he was at
Brooklyn and had a decent year on a very dysfunctional Nets team.
What Does CJ Brings to the Table?
He is an experienced point guard and understands how to come
off the bench and contribute. He has been doing this his whole career and has
done it quite well. He brings strong defense which this team is really becoming
known for. He also brings a decent offensive game to the table. Is he going to
get you 15 points a night? No, but will he be a threat? Absolutely, he is more
of a lane penetrator than Augistin is and can make the open three if one isn’t
working for him he can go to the other. Unlike Augistin who unless his three
pointer was dropping he was ineffective.
Overall: What's the Verdict?
Nice pick up nothing more than that. He should be an upgrade
from Augistin. He is not the missing piece that wins Game 7 for the Pacers
however.
