This is the first chance I had to watch highlights. He has some skills. I think they will translate to the NBA. I don?t know how you aren?t excited about this guy.
We are currently selling plots on Amari Williams island for reasonable amounts. Come and get your land before its sold out!
I think I'm the only living here so far.
I will put down a deposit for that, not a full commitment. We are talking about a 2nd round pick so expectations have to be calibrated accordingly. I am not getting my hopes up really high, I would be more than satisfied if he ended up somewhere in the range of Kornet/RWilliams. That is all. And based on the highlights, I see that as within reach.
Highlights distort things like shooting as highlights only show makes. But for things like running the floor, seeing the floor, smooth hands, dribbling at full speed, length, the kind of "can't teach" things, what you see on the highlights is real. I had no idea that Amari Williams had the kind of raw materials that he has.
The highlights showed him making (1) 3-point shot, and it was ugly. Looked more like a shot put throw than a basketball shot. He is a long way from developing anything close to NBA shooting touch. But Kornet and Williams couldn't shoot either. Both understood and accepted their roles and contributed. I am optimistic that Amari can do the same.
