Des Watson gives Loyola Chicago a proven shot-creator with big-game scoring upside
Watson is a high-usage guard who led Loyola Chicago in scoring in 2024-25 at 12.9 points per game while also adding 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals, and he has shown he can take over postseason games with a career-high 25 points in the A-10 tournament. He is not a clean efficiency bet—his shooting was streaky, especially from three—but his aggressiveness, foul-line confidence and ability to create offense in pressure moments make him a useful fit for teams needing an experienced, competitive perimeter scorer with toughness.
