Milwaukee Bucks: Patrick Williams stands as unfinished NBA Draft target

Weaknesses

For all of the size, athleticism and defensive versatility he offers up at the next level, Williams’ offensive game isn’t nearly as complete by comparison.

The biggest of those questions revolve around where his skill set stands on that side of the ball and certainly how comfortable he’ll be in letting it fly from beyond the arc where he was far from a volume 3-point threat. Williams just went 16-for-50 from 3-point range in his lone year at Tallahassee and while he did connect on 83.8 percent of his free throw attempts, his rigid shooting stroke will clearly have to be ironed out and sped up with the help of NBA-level shooting coaches.

Williams’ limited role under Hamilton didn’t help matters in terms of his overall offensive development and the bulk of Williams’ output came on aforementioned hustle plays and converting putback and general second chance opportunities.

Of course, Williams’ off-ball activity provides some use in that regard and he can give a team a spark in being able to cut along the baseline or even be used as a nice lob target against inattentive or hapless NBA defenses.

On the ball, Williams did show an interesting pull up game from the elbow spots, but he’s far from a shot creator for others as evidenced by his 0.58 assist-to-turnover ratio. Can he eventually fill that out into developing a nice driving game to attack over-aggressive closeouts?

These questions only scratch the surface in what Williams will have to master in the NBA.
