Denver Nuggets fans knew this could be a special season for Peyton Watson, given the talk about how much he improved over the summer and the team's decision not to sign him to an extension. What they didn't know was just how important he'd be, and how it'd be both a good and bad thing.
Watson stepped up amid the team's slew of never-ending injuries, and, unfortunately, he was hit with an injury himself in Feb. 4's loss to the Knicks. Still, that doesn't take away from what he did up to that point, and what he'll continue to do when he returns.
