Denver Nuggets guard/forward Peyton Watson recently joined Rich Paul's Klutch Sports Group for his representation. Watson is set to enter restricted free agency in 2026 at the conclusion of his rookie contract.

With Watson proving to be a valuable member of this Nuggets team, filling in as a starter due to injuries, how much should the Nuggets be willing to pay him this offseason?

Important to note, the Nuggets already have five players making $21 million or more next season, so Denver's depth will be tight if they decide to give Watson the extension he likely deserves (could be in the $12-14 million range annually, or as high as $18 million).
