Meet the Team

With a commitment to excellence both on and off the basketball court, the Watts family name has been a Seattle staple for almost forty years. Building on this commitment started by his father, Seattle Sonics NBA legend Slick Watts, Donald Watts was selected Washington State’s High School Basketball Player of the Year. Donald went on to lead the University of Washington basketball team to two NCAA tournament appearances, including one Sweet Sixteen appearance. Watts continued to play professional basketball all over the world, including the NBDL, the NBA’s minor league system. In addition to mentoring many current NBA and NCAA players from the Seattle area, Donald shares his wealth of knowledge of both life and basketball with young people through the widely acclaimed Watts Basketball individual and group workouts.
