Watson Appreciation Thread

GlassEater said:
OK, this could go in the game thread, but I think it deserves its own topic. I've always been impressed by Watson's assist totals. And though he generally scores just a few points, or even puts up a goose egg, he occasionally contributes with some big shots. However, what impresses me most - and he did it multiple times last night - are the picks he sets to create easy shots/dunks for the big men. The primary recipient last night was Favors. Derrick's buckets came after hard picks by Watson. Last night, I'd say Watson was a major reason for the Jazz victory. Quite simply, he plays in that respect like Stockton did, and I don't say that lightly. I'd put Watson down in the "untradeable" category. I want him to mentor the next Jazz PG. And after his playing days are over, I'd like to see the Jazz immediately offer him a coaching position. I wish all the Jazz players could have the same unselfish attitude, do the little things that don't show up in their box score.

Every team needs an Earl Watson - a guy who is going to come in and do his job plus the dirty work that doesn't show up in the box score - setting screens, deflecting passes, getting back on transition D....

Having said that, I think the Earl Watson worship on this board is way over the top. The guys a solid role player - that's it. Nice to have - but when they're the tail that wags the dog you go nowhere.

Don't recall you ever saying that Watson ISN'T unselfish. You just said that he can't start, and shouldn't start ahead of Harris.

Basically, said he sucked and should never sniff the starting lineup. His early season success had everything to do with a home heavy schedule.
 
again **** watson.

the needs of the earl outweighs the need of the many.

his true colors have finally shown. thought he was unselfish and a great veteran precense a great chemistry guy
but boy where we wrong
