Watson stuffed the stat sheet on Sunday, recording 12 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals in a win over the Rockets. |
Watson brings an interesting veteran dynamic to this young Magic team and he very well may steal minutes away from blossoming guard Elfrid Payton. The fantasy value for Watson is not too high, but if Payton is to miss any time due to an injury, Watson would become must own in every format. |

Watson (elbow) was officially cleared to participate in training camp, the Orlando Sentinel reports. |
Watson missed the final six games of the regular season with a sore right elbow. He'll backup Elfrid Payton at point guard and offer much needed three-point shooting in spurts. Watson missed plenty of games during his tenure as a Pacers due to injury, and his relevance in standard leagues is tied to Payton's ability to stay on the court. Even then, Watson was occasionally outplayed by Donald Sloan last season, potentially signifying the end of Watson's fantasy appeal. |
| Sat Jul 4 2015 | 20:58 | C.J. Watson: Headed To Orlando |
Watson agreed to a three-year contract with the Magic worth $15 million, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. |
Watson spent the previous two seasons in Indiana where he provided support off the bench. He's in line for more of the same with his move to Orlando as he's in line to mentor second-year guard Elfrid Payton while playing limited minutes off the bench. The veteran averaged 25 minutes with the Pacers last season but that number might be a bit optimistic to expect from him while in Orlando since his former team struggled with numerous injuries throughout the 2014-15 campaign. |
