Williams shot is horrible and needs built up from scratch.    I don't think Williams is much of a better athlete than Garza, neither is a good leaper.  Williams is a skilled passer and connector.

I agree with the first point, his shot is ugly.  But I disagree with the send part.  I think he is a much better athlete.  He can handle the ball, can pass.  Maybe you mean just pure foot speed or leaping ability.  Even that, I see more than Garza.

He has improved.  I don't think he will ever be anything but a lob dunk guy, but that is fine.  DAL made it to the finals with nothing more than a couple of lob dunk centers.  It would be nice to have a shooter, like Horford or Porzingis, at center, but I think if you have enough shooting and creation in the other 4 players, it is OK.

Not sure if Queta can be the starter or primary center on a title team, but he sure seems to be trying hard to prove me wrong.
