Creighton’s durable, do-it-all forward who owned the paint
In the 2007-08 season, Dane Watts was Creighton’s leading scorer and rebounder at 12.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, while also starting every game and giving the Bluejays veteran toughness, consistency, and frontcourt stability. His calling card was reliability: he piled up 119 starts in 130 career games, passed 1,000 career points, and became one of the program’s rare 1,000-point, 600-rebound players. If you value a hard-nosed, low-drama forward who competes every night and can anchor a lineup with experience, Watts fit beautifully.
