Watson's role may shift from deep threat to underneath routes, potentially increasing consistency.

The source expresses uncertainty about Watson's offensive role going forward. He notes Watson currently has a 17-yard average depth of target (deep threat role), but speculates: "What if Christian Watson isn't the deep threat anymore? What if they put Matthew Golden in that role to really stretch the field and they let Christian Watson run around a little bit more underneath where he doesn't have a 17 average depth of target and you're getting more layups like you saw with Jameson Williams." This suggests potential role adjustment could increase consistency and floor.
