Obi Toppin successor? Watson is primed for a featured role with the Flyers in 2020-21, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports. Impact Watson took a bit of a back seat in his 2019-20 season with Dayton, serving as the sixth man while the offense ran through projected NBA lottery pick Obi Toppin. Even getting mentioned in the same sentence is a compliment, and while the two are clearly different players, the 6-5 wing looks primed to take the next step. After getting his NBA stock evaluated in the offseason, look for Watson to start and offer double-figure scoring for the Flyers, though his ceiling could place him among the top players in the Atlantic Ten conference.
