Milwaukee Bucks: Patrick Williams stands as unfinished NBA Draft target

Strengths

It goes without saying that Williams possesses the physical and athletic qualities of an NBA-level wing and forward.

Coming in at 6’8″ and armed with a reported 6’11” wingspan, Williams easily glides up and down the court and his athletic gifts all combine to make him a very impactful defender at this stage in his development. That certainly showed up in the incredible defensive numbers he posted during his lone year with Seminoles and it’s Williams’ potential as a secondary rim protector that is an especially tantalizing asset.

With his growing defensive instincts and ability to read the game and/or see plays develop beforehand, Williams’ anticipation, awareness and athletic prowess could lead him to be deployed and defend both forward positions in due time as he grows into his professional career.

It’s Williams’ hustle and motor that helps him to make plays that would not normally come within the function of a team’s set offense. That includes flying in to extend offensive possessions and/or converting putback plays to give his team an emotional and physical lift.

And that extends to his potential to be a capable finisher at the next level, whether it’s trying to take defenders off the dribble or even being used as a roller in pick-and-roll situations. Per Hoop-Math, Williams converted 62.4 percent of his scoring opportunities at the basket.
