Growing up Peyton Watson would spend a lot of time playing basketball with his younger brother Christian. As the two grew older Peyton Watson began to grab the bulk of attention from scouts and recruiters. One of Watson’s most memorable games growing up was a game on January 4, 2020 when his Long Beach Poly squad matched up against Josh Christopher and Mayfair High School. In a game attended by Kevin Durant, Allonzo Trier, and several college recruiters all eyes were supposed to be on Mayfair’s Josh Christopher. While Christopher put up 32 points in the game Watson just about matched him with 30 points of his own. Sure enough Watson’s Instagram gained 1,000 new followers within the next week and he would end up fielding offers from several top basketball schools around the country. In the end Watson chose to stay home and play for his hometown school UCLA, one of the top 5 men’s basketball schools in the country, where he would from there get drafted and play for the Denver Nuggets.
