Slow start or not the shooting percentage is still affected by the slow start.
I think Grant Williams will be playing in the NBA for a very long time.
But I don't think using GWill as a Center is a good idea.
Agree, it is laughable that we play him at Five.
He has a good looking flip jump hook shot that appears very effective down low. I like it.
If you can't elevate this is a must for your game as your using your shoulders and body width to protect the ball.
I think Draymond is a pretty apt comparison because of how the C's are using him.
height height/shoes Weight Wingspan Standing Reach Vertical Max Vertical
Draymond Green 6'5.75" 6'7.5" 235.6 7'1.25" 8'10 28" 33"
Grant Williams 6'5.75″ 6'7.5" 240.6 6"9.75" 8' 8.5″ 26" 31.5"
Four inches more of leaping and reach can be a lot in basketball in terms of capability. How many guys have we wished were a few inches taller and they would be perfect at some position? Roughly 1-2" wingspan and reach a few of more vertical leap.
I think Grant is smart and will figure things out. But I recall when Ainge drafted Guerschon Yabusele and folks compared him to Draymond Green and the comparisons were downright way off then too.
