Robert Williams III - explosive athletic shot blocker!!! Did not expect this guy to fall to us. This might be the steal of the draft.
Strengths
Williams is a bouncy and strong athlete who can explode off the floor for dunks and is a menace on the defensive end. He's got great length (7-4 wingspan), good timing and a commitment to protecting the rim. Moves his feet well with good back-peddle and lateral agility and can cover a lot of ground quickly.
Although his offensive game is raw, he shows some promise with his back to the basket moves, with good body control and a high release point on his jump-hook. His leaping ability allows him to get his shot off in the lane, even against taller defenders.
Is a solid free throw shooter for a young big man.
Moves without the ball well and does a good job of changing speeds to get open for the pass. Is always a threat for back door lobs and shows off his quickness on the pick and roll.
Knows his role and players within himself. Does the dirty work and plays with passion. Is an excellent offensive rebounder and keeps a lot of possessions alive for his team.
A quick leaper with excellent size/strength/agility combo.
An upside pick.
Comparisons
A longer Richaun Holmes
Antonio Davis
Marquese Chriss
Projection: lotto to mid first round pick
