Marques Watson gives Manhattan a steady, two-way guard with clear upside
Watson is a Brooklyn-born Manhattan guard whose most recent listed college production includes 5.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game on 41.3% shooting, while earlier Manhattan seasons show a bigger scoring role when he averaged 24.8 points in 2022-23. He brings value as a physical, multi-year backcourt piece who has shown he can contribute beyond scoring, including steals and playmaking, and his profile suggests a capable rotation guard if a team wants toughness, experience and defensive effort more than pure shot creation.
