NEW ORLEANS — Sage basketball advice from the man who cared enough to chauffeur him around Los Angeles is echoing in Peyton Watson’s head.
It has been a lot these days. In the East Coast cities, where Watson seized the wheel of a Nuggets season threatening to veer off-course. Back home in Denver. In New Orleans, where Watson crafted a 31-point performance on Tuesday, his latest in an increasingly unassailable month.
“My father, (when I was) growing up, taught me that if you can’t dribble, if you can’t shoot, if you can’t do everything, then it’s gonna be hard for you to make it at the highest level,” Watson said.
