Brooklyn Nets forward Trendon Watford displayed his versatility on Saturday when head coach Jordi Fernandez opted to use him at point guard during the final moments of the game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Watford responded by scoring 11 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter.
“He helps you win,” Fernandez said in an interview with Brian Lewis of the New York Post.
“And he does that because he’s able to score, but also able to handle and play-make and play four positions, and post-up and make a three. So all those things are super valuable at his size and position.”
Watford has played 4 seasons for the Nets and Trail Blazers. He has averaged 7.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 195 regular-season games.
