He was a non-factor for the Jazz this season, despite the team's lack of depth at both guard spots. He shot 30.8 percent from the field and 17.9 percent from beyond the arc - both career lows. His two-year deal with Utah will expire this summer and the team is not likely to bring him back. Watson remains a solid defender and ball-handler and could provide a veteran bench presence for a team in 2013-14.","date":"Fri Apr 26"},"fullName":"Earl Watson","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"A serviceable veteran backup, Watson is capable of posting solid assist and steal numbers if he gets substantial minutes. Watson averaged 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals in just 20.7 minutes per game off the bench last season, but a torn meniscus in his right knee forced him out of action down the stretch. Still recovering from surgery, Watson is hoping to return by the start of the 2012-13 season. He'll challenge veteran Jamal Tinsley to be Mo Williams' primary backup, but should have value only in extremely deep fantasy leagues.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Fri Oct 12"},"playerRater30DAY":-6.3,"positionRank":64}
