It's a joy to have a young man who came from being a big fish in a little pond, to a little fish in a big pond handle it with grace and maturity. Keep up the good work. Dr. Swatson!💙🏀💛

[@oldmansportsog2514]

Did you follow him at UCLA because I would say there he was a small fish in a big pond cuz that ucla team was a final four team before he got there

[@DeaBar5280]

@oldmansportsog2514 No, actually I did not. However, I think that was a quick stop for him after he was in All American an high school where he was the top dog.

When Watson is popping off in game it is incredible to watch! My favorite Nuggets defender when he's playing his mind out.

[@robshelden4670]

I’ve been all in on this young man from day one! Love his game and attitude. Can’t wait to watch him develop into a star and multiple time champion!

[@nathansteele4358]

I love Watson, my favourite young player

[@OwenHooper-mv4fm]

Peyton has a very “future Mr Nugget” vibe

[@oldmansportsog2514]

I bet bones sitting on clippers bench knowing he screwed up. He could kg been that and been nuggets backup pg of future but he thought he was meant for bigger things and went to clippers and now doesn’t play

[@ASOC4]

I got a LOT of respect for Peyton for making defense his staple in this day and age of chucking half court threes with no defense. Keep it up, lowkey my favourite player on the Nugs.

[@ThisIsTedWhoRU]

Peytons a guy who I think is going to stay ready and when his time shines he's going to be a really really good player, feels like he's doing everything the right way and will be rewarded for it

[@1OF1NJ]

So proud of this young king. I watched him work hard and get better all while staying humble. Glad to see him in his element. From your dawg all the way in Jersey!!! Stay solid P!!

[@LLawliet-tv9ig]

Sky's the limit for Watson. I like how he brought up defensive oriented players like Kawhi and Jimmy, and how their games expanded afterwards. Watson has the potential to be a 2 way monster just like the guys he mentioned.

[@juandadeshauteurs780]

Great defensive player💯💯

[@YEHEY55]

Peyton Swatson 🏀🤚

[@oldmansportsog2514]

Very mature of Pwat last night for going up to Malone and saying he can’t play cuz his energy level won’t be where it needs to be cuz of him feeling ill. That’s a huge vet move by a 2nd year player Nuggets culture is unmatched

[@nabellhippy]

Love P-Wat. Young, Lots of Energy, beast, and very calm and mature for his age. Nuggets GM did their homework. i wish Bone Hyland have his mentality.

[@wym348]

if Bones had his mind he'd be a starter

[@seths.4531]

this was dope

[@TheKingOfAllTrades]

Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽

[@yesse3423]

START. THIS. MAN. The type of build, mindset and talents to be a superstar.

[@user-mb2wj2qo5w]

Good in defense very young guy

[@obedblack3073]

Really excited about the nuggets young bench. PWat, CB, Strawther, Picket, Nnaji, Gilespie. All of the young guys have play styles that work well with Jokic and will be able to get the nuggets another ring

[@aquamarine56]

How old is he now

[@alokinchi]

He's 21 years old.

[@joshbrewer7750]

PWAT!!!
