Williams, Robert  Texas A&M 6'9" 237 C soph.  Williams is a defensive difference maker for Texas A&M. He led the SEC in defensive rebounding in 2017-18. He blocks shots at a high rate too (2.6 blocks per game in 2017-18). Williams, who sticks out as a NBA athlete, averaged 10.4 points, and 9.2 rebounds per game as a sophomore. ...Offensively, Williams is challenged. He is a poor free throw shooter (54% career), and he turns it over more than he assists it. He has attempted 30 three point shots and connected on just two of those attempts. Even with all of his offensive shortcomings, we think Williams could be drafted late in the lottery. His overall athleticism is special. He can score in the low post, and as a rim-runner.  The impact he has on defense and on the glass can really help a team that has offensive weapons. Williams led the SEC in boxscore plus/minus in 2017-18. ...If Williams ever can become more than a space-eater on offense that would be a huge bonus. 

 

Good Advice: In 2011, the 12th pick in the NBA Draft was Alec Burks. We advised, "Draft Kawhi Leonard."
