EXCITING young key Vic Metro key forward Jack Watts says he is unsure if he will nominate for this year's NAB AFL Draft.

Watts, who has been a standout in this year's NAB AFL under 18 championships, said he was still weighing up his options when he spoke about his future on Monday at Telstra Dome.

"I really haven't thought about it at all – the draft or where I'm going. I haven't even decided whether I'm nominating or not yet," Watts admitted.

"I'm lucky to have the opportunity to get into this position, but I'm not really looking too much into it.

"Obviously, school is a massive one. If you happened to get picked up by an interstate team and you're still doing year 12, it can cause a few problems, so that's a big concern of mine – that's about as far as I've thought about it really."

Recently, Watts had to make a big decision in his sporting career – either pursuing a basketball or football career. He said it was "definitely a tough choice" as he's "loved both of them my whole life".

"I've been playing the two sports my whole life and I really wasn't sure what was going to happen this year, so to have made a decision and to have had the opportunity to play with the best in the country has been great. It's happened quickly, but it's been great so far," Watts said.

"Once I made the decision, it was a bit of a relief and [I] could really concentrate on footy now. I enjoyed the whole carnival and had a ball, and coming up against Western Australia will be great.

"Basketball is an international sport and in Australia it's not really going that well at the moment, so you'd really have to travel internationally to be successful and make a really good career out of it, so that was a big factor."

"I love my home, I love Melbourne and Victoria, so it was a big factor. In the end, footy was the choice."

Watts' fine form has elevated his status in recent times to a potential No.1 draft pick, but the impressive youngster doesn't see himself as a club saviour.

"I didn't know whether I was going to be playing footy six weeks ago, so to be talked up and getting the attention that I'm getting at the moment is definitely a weird feeling I've never had before, obviously," Watts said.

"To be talked up as a saviour or to go to a club and bring them out of the ditches or something like that – it's just too early to be thinking about that at all.

"I'd have to get my body right to play AFL, and at the stage I'm at now, I'd say I'm definitely not really ready for it yet – I'm still a lanky, tall, skinny kid, so I'd look to play school footy and play for Brighton Grammar and try and get my body right."
