  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Scores 15 points off bench

    Watson put up 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, a block and a steal across 28 minutes in Friday's 114-112 victory over the Salt Lake City Stars.

    Watson came off the bench for just the fourth time in his 15 G League appearances this season, but he was still a very productive scorer Friday. He's shooting 37.3 percent from the field and 29.5 percent from deep overall for the Blue, but he improved on both of those rates against the Stars.

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Not starting Sunday

    Watson will come off the bench Sunday against the Mavericks, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Logs 37 minutes in start

    Watson accumulated 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 115-97 loss to the Suns.

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Gets start Tuesday

    Watson will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

    Watson is getting his first start of the season in his first appearance since Dec. 10. In the three games that he's seen double-digit minutes, he's averaged 2.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks.

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Eclipses 30 minutes in loss

    Watson finished with four points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 152-79 loss to the Grizzlies.

    Watson was second only to Ty Jerome when it came to minutes played, demonstrating just how out of control this game was. The Thunder were defeated by 73 points in the end, the largest losing margin in NBA history. Despite the lofty minutes, Watson produced very little on either end of the floor. He is obviously not a fantasy target.

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Posts 18 points against South Bay

    Watson tallied 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3 Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a block across 31 minutes in Sunday's 119-107 defeat against the South Bay Lakers.

    Watson was excellent from the field on Sunday, making 58.3 percent of his shots, but he struggled from deep as his side lost to South Bay for the second time in as many games. He also

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Better shooting in Thursday's win

    Watson tallied 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in Thursday's 108-100 victory against the Agua Caliente Clippers.

    Watson was slightly more accurate with his shooting Thursday, going 38.5 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from deep. He's still far off his averages from last season, but he's only five games into this one and can get back on track as it develops.

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Struggles with shot in win

    Watson put up 10 points (4-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes in Sunday's 85-71 victory against the Santa Cruz Warriors. He also had a block and two steals in the game.

    Watson played well overall in Sunday, but his shooting was pretty off (26.7 percent from the field, 22 percent from three-point range). He was at 44.1 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from deep this season prior to Sunday's game, so he will try to bounce back from the off game against Agua Caliente on Thursday.

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Solid shooting versus Stars

    Watson totaled 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Sunday's 114-81 victory against the Salt Lake City Stars.

    Watson was once again reliable with his shots on Sunday, and he's shooting 50 percent from three through two G League games this season. He's seen limited minutes in the NBA across the last two seasons, but Watson has shown some potential and could make his way back to the top level if he continues playing well for the Blue.

  • Thunder's Paul Watson: Deadly from three in win

    Watson managed 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists, while shooting 4-for-7 from three-point range across 21 minutes in Friday's 118-63 victory against the Salt Lake City Stars.

    Watson lead OKC in points on Friday thanks to his accuracy from deep. He likely won't have this type of performance every game, but if he gets hot like this then he will be a threat.

    Watson signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Thunder on Sept. 15.

    Watson will join second-round rookie Aaron Wiggins as one of two two-way players on the Thunder's season-opening roster. The 26-year-old wing appeared in 27 games for the Raptors last season, averaging 4.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 11.0 minutes per contest while shooting 46.3 percent from the field.

    Watson was waived by the Raptors on Tuesday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
