Strength's
Williams is a winner and has done it everywhere he has played before the NBA. At Duke Williams became one of the few freshmen in Duke's history to average double figures in scoring, and was named ACC Rookie of the Year and National Freshman of the Year by The Sporting News, averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds per contest. Williams, widely considered the best player in college basketball, proved his supporters correct, earning both the prestigious Naismith Award and Wooden Award as College Basketball's Player of the Year in 2002.
Weakness
Williams lacks some lateral quickness when guarding quicker guards and doesn't have the best outside jump shot. He takes a lot of risks going for steals and at times can be burned by them. Solid rebounder but his frame doesn't allow him to attack the rim on either side on a regular basis.
Scout's Take
Williams is a proven winner at one of the best college programs at Duke. If he decides to come out following his junior season he will make a terrific option as the second pick in the draft and even challenge Yao as the top pick. He might not improve much more than what you get but you will get a quality point and that is guaranteed.
