Williams bumps defenders on screens, knows how and when to rotate on defense, and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, no matter who he’s battling for the ball or low post position. With so little structure in summer league competition, it was hard to see all those subtle things he does well. But with a week of training camp in the books, it’s easy to see why the coaching staff has been so much more positive than the rest of us about what Williams might be able to contribute.

hope this is true

I thought he was Etan Thomas going into the draft, and I don't think any different so far. Chad Ford has talked about how players not performing in the summer league is a much better indicator of success than when players do succeed there, and I think there is some truth there. Obviously, it is just summer league, but his performance was pretty unimpressive for a college senior picked #5. He was not the best value on the board at the time, and I would doubt that his career will prove otherwise. I think he'll be a solid 20-25mpg guy in the league, and should earn MLE-level money.
