2016 Draft Profile - Troy Williams

Strengths: Troy Williams is one of the best athletes in this draft class. He can jump out of the gym and is extremely quick as well. He comes up with a ton of putback dunks and is a great finisher at the rim, even through contact.

Defensively, he has all of the tools necessary to be a lockdown player. He is quick enough to keep players in front of him, but also the athleticism to recover if he is beat off the dribble.

One of his more underrated attributes is his passing ability. He is comfortable handling the ball and is capable of hitting teammates on the pick-and-roll as well as open shooters on the perimeter. He is also improving his shooting, making 46 percent of his threes, though on a very small number of attempts.

Weaknesses: While he is improving his jumper, it still needs a lot of work. He has a slow windup when shooting and at this point looks better on pull-up jumpers than set shots. If he can’t consistently knock that shot down it severely limits his impact.

His decision making also needs to be refined. He is a good passer, but he can look force passes to teammates who aren’t open. There are also times where he just drives towards the basket with no plan, leaving himself in no man’s land with nowhere to go.

Williams has all of the physical tools, but will have to improve the skill portion of his game. If that comes around, he has a chance to rise up on draft boards.
