In need of some point guard help, the Golden State Warriors turned to the NBA Development League and nabbed former University of Tennessee star C.J. Watson on Tuesday, signing him to a 10-day contract. Watson becomes the 10th D-League player to be called up this season, and the 100th player since the league was formed in 2001.

The Warriors are hoping Watson will make as big an impact as Kelenna Azubuike, now a regular in coach Don Nelson’s rotation, did last season. The 23-year-old Watson, who wasn’t known for his scoring at Tennessee, is currently the third-leading scorer in the D-League.

In 16 games with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Watson was averaging 26.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.38 steals. He was shooting 50.6 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3-point range. Watson was named the D-League’s Player of the Month for December.

Watson went undrafted in 2006 and spent last year playing in Italy and Greece.
