When the Philadelphia 76ers signed Trendon Watford in free agency, they expected to get an emergency backup forward who can flourish in some niche areas. After all, they only got him for cheap, and he was not particularly a widely desired commodity, either. Put simply, the team envisioned him taking on a minor role this season.
In all honesty, that remains to be the case. Watford started off the season injured, then returned with a pretty major role as their go-to power forward. Unfortunately, he was sidelined for more than a month with another injury which led to a drastic dip in minutes, but the team might have just unlocked a new way to unleash him during their latest outing.
