Peyton Watson, a highly athletic 6 foot 8 forward who plays for the Denver Nuggets as a backup role player. The 21-year-old forward was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder as the 30th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. The Nuggets saw his potential and traded for the defensive wing with a seven-foot wingspan.

In his sophomore year, Watson elevated his game and became a key part of the Nuggets rotation. He played in 80 games, fourth most for the Nuggets, making 76 appearances off the bench. The young forward was one of eight players to play more than 75 games off the bench, alongside his teammate Christian Braun.

In the 2023/24 season, he was one of two players to make more than 80 blocks coming off the bench, the other being a center. The young forward also displayed his rim-protection abilities and is ranked first in defended field-goal percentage. The opponents shot -14.1% when guarded by him from under six-feet of the rim (minimum 250 DFGA from the bench).
