Not part of starting lineup Watts is not part of the Terrapins' starting lineup for their upcoming game Sunday against Purdue.

Impact For mid-to-late January, each of Watts' four games and starts statistically include an unimpressive output. Most notably, he logged a 30.8 field goal percentage. For the Terrapins' starting lineup, in place of him is Myles Rice.

Stays quiet in another loss Watts finished with five points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 88-71 loss to USC.

Impact Watts looked to be potentially turning a corner in late December/early Janury when he scored 17 points and 11 points in back-to-back games. Since then, however, Watts has totaled just seven points in three games. The junior guard simply cannot be relied upon to produce on a nightly basis, both in real life and from the perspective of a fantasy manager.

Drops 17 in easy win Watts closed Sunday's 73-58 win over Old Dominion with 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two blocks over 28 minutes.

Impact Watts got his first start of the season against the Monarchs, and certainly made the most of it as the Terps rolled over ODU with ease. Watts himself hit a season-high four three-pointers, and his 17 points were one shy of his most this season. The guard's role, like many of his teammates, has fluctuated this season, but he appears to have some momentum as Big Ten play arrives.
