2018 NBA Mock Draft 5.0
Williams took a big risk in returning to school for his sophomore season. He wasn’t put in the best position to succeed at A&M, but his strong play in the NCAA Tournament might have cemented his status as a potential lottery pick.
Even with major question marks on the offensive end, Williams’ defensive upside remains among the highest in this year’s class. At 6-10 with a 7-6 wingspan, his impressive blend of mobility and bounce allows him to reak havoc on that side of the ball.
He’s a solid pick-and-roll big who’s capable of playing above the rim offensively, but NBA scouts would like to see him improve his jumper, something he didn’t use much this season.
