Watson’s selection coincided with a commercial break during ESPN’s draft coverage Thursday afternoon and the GU player’s name appeared on the screen in the middle of a Pacifico beer advertisement. He joked that could be a good omen for his professional career, noting that Nuggets center and three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic was famously selected while a fast-food commercial was airing during the 2014 Draft. “I’m not saying I’m Jokic, but they did the same thing to him,” Watson laughed. “They put a Taco Bell commercial on him. … Might have to get the (Pacifico) sponsor, might have to get the sponsor.”
