CJ Watson Is The Best Bargain In The NBA

[Clueminati017]

Warriors Watson the best bargain in the NBA?
The Warriors guard has indeed found his mark barely a year after being called up from the NBA Development League. CJ Watson not only ranks fifth in three-point shooting (.464) heading into tonight's game against Atlanta, but he's also climbing the Warriors' list of clutch performers. In Wednesday's triple overtime loss to the Kings, Watson scored 10 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, including six in a row that completed a rally that erased a 14-point Warriors deficit. And he just might be the best bargain in the NBA. He makes the league minimum for a second-year player at $711,517, a salary that figures to be bumped nicely when he becomes a restricted free agent at season's end.-- SF Chronicle

It seems the Warriors certainly have an eye for talented guards that get passed over by everyone else, first Arenas, then Ellis, now Watson. Arenas left, Ellis has missed half the season and counting in the first year of a huge contract but perhaps they'll have better luck with Watson if they plan on keeping him long term.

I'd add Kelenna Azuibuike to that list

Agreed, though they're probably going to have to move (or lose) at least one or two of their guards/swingmen to clear the logjam.
