Many around the league believe that Peyton Watson's 15-game sample size in January (21.9 PPG) was indicative of him being able to take major steps forward, following some Jaden McDaniels and Mikal Bridges type development, a bonafide No.3 option on a contender, per @JakeLFischer
Draymond Green on the Peyton Watson Sign-And-Trade to the Cavs:
"The Nuggets picked up what a lot of people view as a great, great, great asset which is the unprotected 2031 Cavaliers 1st round pick... The Cavs wanna compete and usually when teams try to compete you have your window and then it goes to s***... the Nuggets was deciding between Cam Johnson and Peyton Watson... I think the sentiment in Denver could be Peyton Watson next deal is only gonna go up from here, Cam Johnson's may revert back the opposite way so you can afford to keep him longer."
