He doesn't have it in the same regard as Iggy, but that doesn't mean that he isn't athletic. It's just that compared to Iggy, he is well overmatched.
I agree with the Williamson statement though. He's not that athletic. He's in great shape though.

Having played with Salmons when he was younger and watching him at Miami and in the NBA the only player I could say hes like is Reggie Miller. Who did not set the world on fire, with his athletic exploits. AS far as him being able to play the 1 2 and 3 spots. That has more to do with his skill set than being athletic. Hes a taller Aaron Mckie when he came out of college
