The average plus or negative value per game -7.8. The Nuggets forward star will dig a big hole for the team as soon as he appears?

In a previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder at home with a three-pointer of Aaron Gordon, achieving a good start in the series. After this game, the Nuggets also widened the total score of the series to 1-0, and they also regained the home advantage in this round of the series.

In this game, the performance of Nuggets' substitute forward star Peyton Watson is actually not ideal. Watson played 14 minutes and 32 seconds in the game, made 1 of 5 shots, 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and the plus and negative values ​​were lower than the lowest in the game -22. Watson showed good personal defensive ability on the defensive end. His defensive attitude is positive. His advantages in physical talent and athletic ability are very obvious. He can also play some role on the court. However, on the offensive end, Watson's performance was a bit bad. Although he hit a three-pointer, his performance at the end of the basket was really bad. He also significantly dragged down the team's overall performance on the offensive end. The plus or negative value of -22 is not all Watson's problem, and most of the reasons are closely related to Michael Porter Jr.'s poor performance, but Watson also has every reason to do better.

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, with a shooting percentage of 47.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 69.3%. In the playoffs, Watson averaged 13.7 minutes in his first eight games, with averaging 4.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks. He also had 0.4 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 48.3%, his three-point shooting percentage was 60%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 75%.

Watson's performance in these games has always been relatively average. His scoring ability is very limited, and it is difficult for him to find his scoring points on the offensive end. Although Watson has a positive attitude on the defensive end, it is difficult for him to truly affect the situation of the team. Watson's average plus or negative value during the playoffs was -7.8. Basically, he had to dig a big hole for the team as soon as he came on the court, which is enough to show how much negative impact he has on the team. It is no exaggeration to say that if the Nuggets were not available, Watson would not have had so much playing time. In the next game, Watson must find a way to do better, otherwise the Nuggets will definitely encounter big trouble when facing the Thunder who is stronger than the Los Angeles Clippers.
