He looks super awesome but looks super expensive. How does this characteristic of the 76ers new forward star affect his development?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks at home 123-114 after overtime. After this game, the 76ers, who had won two of the last three games, improved their record to 9-6, and their ranking rose to fifth in the Eastern Conference; while the Bucks, who suffered two consecutive losses, saw their record drop to 8-8, and their ranking fell to 11th in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, although the 76ers won the game, the performance of the team's substitute striker Trendon Watford was not ideal. Watford played 14 minutes and 26 seconds, 0 of 4 shots, 0 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and no points in the game. He only contributed 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of -8. Watford failed to demonstrate its scoring ability at all on the offensive end. His offensive efficiency was very unsatisfactory and his touch was very bad. Watford has shown certain passing ability and support ability, but he should do better on the offensive end. Watford does not have much defensive ability, and his performance on the defensive end is also very disappointing. Overall, Watford has not shown its own characteristics on both offense and defense. He is fully capable of playing a greater role.

Watford was born in November 2000. He is 25 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 108kg. He is the undrafted pick in the 2021 NBA draft. He had experience with the Portland Trail Blazers and Brooklyn Nets in previous seasons. In the NBA regular season last season, Watford played a total of 43 times on behalf of the Nets, averaging 21.2 minutes per game. He averaged 10.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also had 1.9 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 46.9% from the field, 33% from the three-point range, and 76.2% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Watford has played a total of 12 times in the first 15 games, averaging 20.7 minutes per game, averaging 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. There are also 1.5 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. The shooting rate is 51.4%, the three-point shooting rate is 37.5%, and the free throw shooting rate is 76.2%.

Watford's performance this season actually has many highlights. In the game against the Toronto Raptors, he scored a triple-double of 20 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 block. In the game against his old team, the Nets, he also had a near-triple-double of 16 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block. Watford's biggest problem is his stability. He can play some good games and play a key role on the offensive end, but he may also play some disaster-level games, not only wasting opportunities on the offensive end, but also doing nothing on the defensive end. Watford's instability is also very detrimental to his future development, and it is not easy for him to get stable playing time.
