about Donald watts
Former Washington State Player of the Year and University of Washington standout Donald Watts grew up around the game at the highest level—learning from legends like Lenny Wilkens, training alongside Kobe Bryant, and helping run camps with his late father, NBA legend Donald “Slick” Watts.
Those early experiences showed him the power of a positive basketball environment and helped shape his resilience, even through challenges like stroke recovery.
Today, Donald’s mission is simple: to create that same uplifting experience—helping young athletes build confidence, develop skills, and grow on and off the court.
For an unforgettable week of fun, growth, and confidence.
