Despite battling foul trouble in 29 minutes of action in a loss to Purdue, the 20-year-old junior put forth a typical outing, scoring in the interior, operating from the elbows and mid-post as a passer, switching ball screens comfortably and offering occasional rim protection, finishing with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. Like with Clarke, NBA teams sound split on Williams. He lacks elite size, reach and perimeter skill yet he has a nose for the ball, he's been ultra-productive on a winning team and he offers the type of toughness and feel ideal for a modern role-playing big. The 6-7 Williams is one of only two NCAA players to have averaged at least 18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot this season. While he's had his struggles finishing against length and rebounding in a crowd, Williams' low center of gravity is immovable, and he has tremendous technique and awareness defensively, almost always in the right place off the ball while showing the ability to step out and slide on the perimeter
To go all in on Williams, teams will want to feel comfortable projecting him as a reliable NBA 3-point shooter down the road (31.8 percent on 44 attempts this season), making pre-draft workouts all that much more important for him. But should he opt to remain in the draft, Williams will be an attractive option as a late-first, early-second round option. He's overachieved relative to expectations at every level up until this point, and the NBA should be no different.
