His main weakness is he's terrible at actually putting the ball in the basket. He shot 53.6% on TWO's during his college career. Thats pretty alarming for a 6'10 guy who doesn't stretch the floor, especially because he'll face more length and athleticism in the NBA.

54% is perfectly fine. It's a huge exaggeration to say "terrible at putting the ball in the basket." It's not like he had great guards getting him the ball at Drexel, and the UK guards weren't that good last year.

Derrick Queen was at 53%. Should he not have been a 1st rounder? Sorber, who many on here pinned away for was at 53%. Broome was at 51% last year.

TP for your thoughtful post

Actually no, its REALLY bad. I'm talking about shooting from 2, you are posting OVERALL numbers. Thomas Sorber shot 59.6% from two. Derick Queen shot 55.8% from two. Broome shot 55.9% from two.

Also: All of those guys took more threes last college season than Williams has his entire career. Part of their appeal is floor spacing. Williams gives you none of that and isn't all that good around the basket. He's limited by a pretty apparent lack of vertical explosion.

And that's nor shocking, he's a great passer and rebounder. If he was a great offensive player, he wouldn't be available at 45. I'm just saying, he has real flaws.

Three-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year ? Originally from Nottingham, England ? Measured at 7'-0", 262 pounds ? Played four seasons at Drexel, where he became one of the most productive and consistent two-way bigs in the mid-major ranks ? Graduated with a degree in Business Administration ?

So how tall is he really?

Might have to wait til measurements at camp to be sure. He wasn't at the combine.

He measured 6'10.5 without shoes at the 2025 G League Ignite camp.
