The last game I want to talk about is the Nuggets beating the Pelicans, 122, 116.

The game is not necessarily all that interesting. Nuggets have been shorthanded for a while. New Orleans not very good team. They can't win games in the clutch. But the story to me, in addition to Jamal Murray, who's, I think, a lock to be an All-Star Reserve this year. He just has been incredible, 35 points, nine assists. He brought the game home for Denver.

He was phenomenal.

But Peyton Watson has been incredible 35 points nine assists he brought the game home for Denver he was phenomenal

but Peyton Watson has been on a tear since yoke it really he got an opportunity when

christian brown and erin gordon went down that was the first wave of injuries to denver and so he's

in the starting lineup he's playing phenomenal he gives them a new wrinkle but since yokech has gone

down we're looking at the last eight games for peyton watson 24 and a half He's playing phenomenal. He gives them a new wrinkle. But since Yokic has gone down,

we're looking at the last eight games for Peyton Watson, 24 and a half points, seven rebounds,

three assists, all around play. One point three steals, 1.1 blocks, one of very few players

to average over one of each of those on the season, but it's even more so over this stretch.

And then it's been efficient,

44% from three. A 25 point per game score giving you one stock, one steal, and shooting 44%

from three. This guy has been unbelievable legs. And I think he's one of the most consequential

players in the NBA, given what he means to Denver, but also just given the fact that he's going

to be entering a restricted free agency. I'm going to start by asking this. You've watched

him lately. What is his upside as a prospect?

He's, well, here's the thing. He's completely blown like the ceiling. Oh, yeah, right?

Completely changed it. Completely changed what he was. In fact, in fact, he was a guy actually over the last couple of years. There were times, and I know he's young. He's only 23 now. So, you know, 21, 22 years old, you don't want to make the conclusions on guys. But I always thought there was more there. And I didn't see it offensively.

And I always was like, one of them. Maybe it's not there. Maybe, maybe this is what he is. He's like a really good defender. He's long. He's going to always be in that 20 minute rotation guy because he adds value to the team. But like, there is no other level for him offensively. he got an opportunity here and he jumped on it.

And so what's standing out to me is just like he, he, there is no other level for him offensively. He got an opportunity here and he jumped on it.

And so what's standing out to me is just like he,
