NBA Comparison: Theo Ratliff
Adi Joseph - 12/11/2006
Strengths: The best shot blocker to come along in years ... Has the ability to alter any shot in the lane, making him a huge defensive presence ... Length is unbelievable. His 7-5 wingspan and defensive mindset make him a menace to opposing shooters. Loves to block jump shooters on the perimeter ... Gets his fair share of steals as well ... Extremely high vertical leap ... Quickness is outstanding defensively... Has finally developed a semblance of an offensive game... Developing into a decent free throw shooter with an improvement from 51% as a sophomore to mid 70s so far this season... Knows his role in the offense ... Good at getting points on put-backs and dunks ... Defends well man to man as well as on help ... Strong on the boards offensively and defensively ...
Weaknesses: No evidence of any range on his jump shot, as he rarely shoots from outside 5-8 feet ... Gets into foul trouble too often, but as aggresively as he is defensively blocking shots, it's understandable ... Should be a stronger rebounder considering his size and athleticism, similar to Ratliff. Could be a lot better with crisper fundamentals and working on positioning and boxing out better ... Added body strength would allow him to play the center position on the next level ... Barely touches the ball outside the paint ... Can be passive offensively, just looking to crash the glass. Should work on a few signature offensive moves ... Attitude isn't the best, appears to lack maturity ... Has had off the court issues already in his collegiate career, with two suspensions ... He's a talented player, but he'll need to stay focused to realize his excellent potential ...

Weakness: Off the court behavior got him repeatedly suspended and ultimately kicked off the BC team halfway through his junior season ... His work ethic and commitment to basketball are very much in question, and his dismissal surely cost his draft stock consideerably ... Doesnt always play the game with intensity often its 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 doesnt 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 Doesnt 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 isnt the best Has a tendency to pick-up fouls with regularity Can be a little too aggressive for his on good on defense Would benefit from continuing to expand his offensive game facing the basket
