Earl Watson - Watson played with the Pacers on a one year contract last season, and averaged 7.8 points and 5.1 assists alongside a PER of only 10.9. His jumpshot, which is inconsistent from season to season, decided to be particularly bad for the second season in a row; it probably didn't help that Watson started 52 games, when he's overmatched as a starter. Watson is a capable backup, however, and should find a home in the NBA next year.
