| OVERVIEW |
| Williams is loaded with potential and is likely to develop into an All-Star forward. |
| He was the most ballyhooed recruit to ever sign with Stanford and he averaged 10.7 points and 4.6 rebounds in his one college season. |
| Williams, who turns 20 on Sept. 12, is a top-notch defender and that figures to be his forte early in his NBA career. |
| Williams only had 17 steals and 11 blocked shots in 20 games last season but is capable of better production. At 6-foot-8, he is versatile and can defend against big players and against wings. |
| Williams shot just 29.1 percent from 3-point range but NBA scouts expect his accuracy to improve as he gets deeper into his NBA career. His overall shooting percentage of 37.4 percent was a disappointment for a player with his skill-set. |
| He also had ball-control issues and committed 58 turnovers, second-most on the team. NBA teams aren't looking for him to be a ball-handler but they also don't want Williams to be committing careless turnovers. |
| The team that selects Williams will also want him to bulk up his 185-pound frame. |
| ANALYSIS |
| Positives: It was clear when Williams signed with Stanford, that he would be a one-and-done player and he has the upside to develop into a solid NBA player. It is expected that he will eventually grow into his body. |
| Negatives: Williams might not receive a lot of minutes as a rookie as he needs time to develop. The careless ball-handling and lackluster shooting performances are a hindrance for now. |
