[QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4352778, member: 722"]
I've tempered my expectations for him a bit, but 10 and 8 doesn't seem outlandish.

My biggest disappointment in him comes from two misguided expectations after reading about him in high school:

1) He doesn't shoot as well as expected.  His next made fade away jumper will be his first. 1 made three in a season is disheartening, especially since he wasn't shooting covered threes.

2) We were sold on a kid with some guard dribbling skills that should have been dangerous of the dribble, particularly against big forwards and with his athletic ability to finish.

However, he still has a 6'8" 210lb athletic body with long limbs and quick feet.  Even if his disappointing shooting and ball handling don't improve dramatically, Williams should be able to finish in close. He'll get his chances on the break, receiving drive and dish passes, making good cuts to the basket and by offensive rebounding. The team being completely dependant on made threes last year hurt Williams a lot. Having an offense keyed in movement, posting Edwards up and penetration should make things a lot easier for him to score.
