2007 Pre-Draft Scouting Report by Matthew Maurer

Assets
Athletically Williams has few peers with his leaping ability and quickness … Extremely mobile player who runs the court with ease and has no problems getting out on the break … One of the best shot blockers in college where he has great natural instincts … Possesses all the physical tools to excel, long wingspan, quick hands, timing and the ability to produce multiple jumps in succession … Offensively Williams has improved greatly adding a solid jump hook and decent turnaround with his back to the basket … Has good touch around the basket where he is a solid finisher … When motivated he has the ability to be a quality rebounder … Possesses a mean streak to attack opposing players who challenge him in the paint … Excellent lateral quickness enables him to be a tremendous help defender … Although some have questioned his work ethic one cannot argue with the development of his game … Has improved tremendously from the free throw line this year where he is no longer a determinant during the last few minutes of close games … Understands what his role on a team is and rarely tries to go outside of his abilities … Does a good job of using his long arms and mobility to disrupt post passes for easy steals … Body suggests that he could add weight and retain his athleticism ... Has a good deal of potential ...

Liabilities
Off the court behavior got him repeatedly suspended and ultimately kicked off the Boston College team halfway through his junior season ... Work ethic and commitment to basketball are very much in question and his dismissal surely cost his draft stock considerably ... Doesn’t always play the game with intensity; it’s not uncommon for him to get out worked by players with lesser talent … Despite having all the physical tools, Williams is not a good out of position rebounder due to his unwillingness to hustle … Suffers from a lack of focus, at times it doesn’t seem like he is interested in playing … Could stand to bulk up and add more upper body strength to his physique … Tends to get pushed away from the basket when posting up because of this … Doesn’t always take care of the ball when executing his moves on offense as he is prone to strips … Still learning the game so his basketball IQ isn’t the best … Has a tendency to pick-up fouls with regularity … Can be a little too aggressive for his own good on defense … Would benefit from continuing to expand his offensive game facing the basket …
