The ability is still a bit poor! The Nuggets forward star is still very useful in high-level games?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G7, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 125-93. After this game, the Thunder locked the total score of the series at 4-3 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Next, the Thunder will compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a finals, while the Nuggets will be out of the Western Conference semi-finals for two consecutive seasons.

In this game, the Nuggets' substitute forward star Peyton Watson's form fell to the bottom again. Watson played 19 minutes and 45 seconds in the game, made 1 of 8 shots, 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 4 free throws, scoring 4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, and had 2 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -27. Watson doesn't play much, but the team's situation is simply a mess when he is on the court. Watson had no touch on the offensive end, and he had a lot of opportunities, but he had no way to score, and he also seriously dragged the team down on the offensive end. As a defensive player, Watson's performance on the defensive end is actually not particularly outstanding, or he has not fully utilized his value on the defensive end. Watson's performance on both offense and defense was very disappointing, which also led to the team's miserable defeat to a certain extent.

In the NBA regular season this season, Watson played a total of 68 games in 82 games, averaging 24.4 minutes per game, averaging 8.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 47.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 69.3%. In the playoffs, Watson averaged 14.2 minutes in these 14 games, with averaging 4.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 40.7%, three-point shooting percentage 36.8%, and 50% free throw shooting percentage.

I have to say that Watson's performance in the playoffs this season is really a disappointing level. His offensive efficiency is a mess, his scoring ability is seriously insufficient, and he is completely unable to provide basic support to the team on the offensive end. The most important thing is that Watson's performance on the defensive end is not that outstanding, and he has not shown enough excellent personal defense. Due to the impact of Michael Porter Jr.'s condition was poor due to injury, the Nuggets also had to improve Watson's playing time. As a result, Watson also proved one thing with his performance. He is really embarrassing and useful at the moment. It is indeed difficult for him to take on more responsibilities in this level of competition. I don’t know how the Nuggets will plan Watson’s future in the team next time. Can Watson continue to get so much playing time and performance opportunities next season?
