Siegel's Take -
Top 30 Scouting Reports
“The NBA is no doubt a man’s game,
and its still hard to picture Williams being that successful with the body
he has. If you consider that Jameer Nelson is just about good enough to be a
6th man, its hard to imagine Williams being anything greater than
a 6th man or a fringe starter. You have to love the fact that he
really took control of his team in March, averaging over 8 assists per game
during Illinois’ finals run. However Williams’ game still offers as many
questions as answers. Can he shoot above 42% in the NBA? Can he hit his free
throws consistently? Does he have consistent NBA range?”
