Analysis:

Williams is a very good and versatile forward who came on strong as a freshman last season. He is a combo forward with more perimeter oriented skills, but can bang in the paint as well. If Williams can show he is a better athlete than advertised, he can really be a dominate player. Williams should be a lottery pick and his performance this season will determine if he goes any higher.

This is why you play the games. Before the season Williams was a mid-first round talent and an average prospect, today some are talking about him being a potential No.1 overall pick in the 2011 Draft. Williams has made the 2010-2011 his own personal highlight reel with masterful dunks and game-changing moments. He is the type of wing that NBA teams covets, he is a great rebounder and can score inside-out. The knock on Williams is he plays passively and at times within the offense too much. It is a credit to him for being a team player, but he rarely creates offense or scores in one-on-one situations (on the perimeter). Today Williams is a Top 5 pick with potential to go higher, if he decides to enter the NBA Draft this summer.
