Paul Watson has shared his first impressions as a BC Roma<\/strong> player, expressing his enthusiasm about joining the ambitious new basketball project in the Italian capital.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really excited. It\u2019s a great opportunity, and being part of the Roman basketball project is an honor. Together with the team and my experience, I want to help write a new page in the history of basketball in the city,\u201d Watson said.<\/p>\n The former Toronto Raptors and Oklahoma City Thunder<\/strong> player also wants to have an important impact away from the court, particularly when it comes to helping the younger members of the roster.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not only supposed to play well, but also to be a support. I want to help the younger players, answer their questions and be available in every way possible,\u201d Watson explained.<\/p>\n Watson has also been impressed by the first practices under head coach Alessandro Magro<\/strong>, highlighting the energy and competitiveness within the team.<\/p>\n \u201cThe coach gives us a lot of energy and tries every day to get the best out of us. Everyone is competitive, focused and fully involved in the project,\u201d Watson said.<\/p>\n The American forward has also enjoyed his first experience of life in the Italian capital, describing Rome as beautiful<\/strong>and emphasizing how different it is from the cities he experienced in the United States.<\/p>\n With his NBA experience and leadership qualities, Watson is expected to play an important role as BC Roma begins a new chapter in its basketball project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The former NBA player is excited about joining BC Roma and is ready to contribute both on and off the court under head coach Alessandro Magro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":511921,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[84,26],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-511934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eurocup","category-serie-a"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/08\/Paul-Watson.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511934"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=511934"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=511934"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=511934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Paul Watson ready to be a leader for BC Roma<\/h2>\n
