Slated to shift off ball Head coach Tom Izzo indicated Thursday that Watts is expected to work more as an off-ball guard more moving forward, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports. Impact After a solid five-game stretch just prior to the opening of Big Ten play, Watts has seen things really go south through the first three league games. Over that span, he's shooting just 17.2 percent from the field and 20 percent from beyond the arc. The move off of the ball suggests Watts' 4.3 assists per game may be unsustainable moving forward, but it could also tap into more of his scoring potential as he aims to get back on the right track as a shooter.
