Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Although Watanabe has become a reliable threat from the perimeter, his overall outlook remains bleak. He finished the 2022-23 season as the 299th-ranked player in standard leagues, the first time in his career that he has broken into the top 300. In 16 minutes per night, he averaged 5.6 points and 1.0 three-pointers. After signing a two-year deal with the Suns during the offseason, Watanabe should provide excellent floor spacing from the power forward position. There is a role to be had for Watanabe, assuming he can maintain elite efficiency from the perimeter. With that said, his game is very one-dimensional, meaning he is unlikely to crack 20 minutes very often. Outside of some potential streaming value, he is better suited to very deep leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Seals Olympic berth for Japan
Watanabe and Team Japan finished the FIBA World Cup with a 3-2 record, including back-to-back victories over Venezuela and Cape Verde to clinch a spot in the 2024 Olympics.
ANALYSIS
Watanabe led Japan with 35.0 minutes per game across his five starts, averaging 14.8 points and 6.2 rebounds. The 28-year-old struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just 25.8 percent of 31 attempts. He shot a palatable 42.9 percent overall. Watanabe is an NBA role player, so being a focal point of opposing defenses during international play is a reasonable explanation for his shooting struggles.
