Not sure how you mean.Gabby Newton is the female version of Jack Watts.
If just in terms of "hasn't lived up to the no.1 pick tag"... the same could be said of Huntington, or even Morrison.
But if it's meant to be more specific: Watts was taken by a wooden spooner, sucked in his first year, and was hugely overshadowed by other players from the same draft. None of that really applies to Newton, who just hasn't kicked on much after making a decent start in a decent team.
At this early stage, sorry to say, the Watts comparison (including being hung out to dry by poor coaching/management) is far more fitting for Weston-Turner.
