Anton Watson had an opportunity to showcase his talent in front of NBA scouts and executives, and by most accounts he played well. 

Watson was one of 47 players invited to the NBA's G League Elite Camp, and he participated in two scrimmages over two days. He totaled 22 points and shot 3-for-4 from the 3-point line. He finished with just 3 assists and 2 rebounds.

His measurements were a mixed bag. He measured 6-foot-7 without shoes and weighed in at 241.4 pounds. His wingspan was measured at 7-0, which is impressive length. His body fat (19.1%) was the worst of any player in attendance, and his max vertical jump of 29 inches was tied for the lowest mark with Michigan State's Joey Hauser and Weber State's Dillon James.

Eight players from the G League Elite Camp were invited to participate in the NBA Draft Combine, and Watson was not one of them. 

So what does this mean for Watson's pro basketball future? And is a return to Gonzaga for a fifth year still a possibility? On the latest episode of the Gonzaga Nation podcast, former Zags' All-American Dan Dickau answers these questions and much more.
