Rookie forward Anton Watson has signed a two-way contract with the New York Knicks after being waived by the Boston Celtics. The Celtics are said to have been disappointed in Watson's development, considering him unlikely to contribute long-term. Despite strong collegiate performance at Gonzaga, including a notable ranking in steals, Watson never played in an NBA regular-season game. Following his departure, the Celtics quickly signed Miles Norris, a promising prospect, to a two-way contract, indicating a shift in focus for their roster.
Watson averaged 12 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting 30.8 percent from 3-point range in 16 games with the Maine Celtics.
Celtics president of basketball operations said last summer that he wanted to see Watson 'let it fly' in Maine.
