Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - The Brooklyn Nets officially signed guard C.J. Watson on Monday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed but the New York Post reported earlier in July that it was a one-year deal worth the veteran's minimum with a player option for a second season.

Watson played in 49 games -- 25 starts -- for Chicago last season, and averaged 9.7 points and a career-high 4.1 assists.

After 2 1/2 seasons with the Warriors to start his NBA career, Watson was traded to Chicago prior to the 2010-11 season. Over five NBA campaigns, Watson holds averages of 7.8 points and 2.6 assists in 305 games.
