“Since I’ve been back from injury, I’ve played a lot more at the three, giving me a lot more space to attack from above the break,” Watson noted, referring to his sprained knee in February. “And it’s definitely different, attacking off the dribble from the wing as opposed to the corner. Just more space, not as clogged up, and I’m not playing against the out-of-bounds lines.” But Watson understands his value to Denver in the corner as well. His third-year leap as a 3-point shooter — he’s up to 37.7% — is mostly a product of that area of the floor. He’s 46.4% from the baseline and sub-30% from above the break, though that didn’t stop him from sinking a pair of wing 3s against Chicago. “I’m also probably in the corner more, so I think that correlates,” Watson said. “And I think I’m a great shooter all around.”
