Derrick Williams, SF/PF Arizona So. (6-8, 240) Age: 19
Strengths: Watch Derrick Williams play and certain word come to your mind: Strength. Power. Smart. Aggressive. Smooth. Williams plays with a great balance of attacking and picking his spots. He almost never takes a bad shot and his shooting percentages bare that out. He's very quick in the post and can finish powerfully with either hand around the basket, but also has a consistent jump shot out to the NBA three point line. Williams is either too quick or too strong for most players to handle so he draws a ton of fouls (331) and shoots free throws at a good percentage. He also rebounds the ball well and competes on both ends of the floor. He'll only get better when playing with a real point guard, as the guard play at Arizona was questionable at best.
Weaknesses: Not much. Besides the lack of ideal size, he doesn't have much you can point to. I'd like to see him block more shots.
NBA Comparison: Paul Millsap, Jazz

Season Stats: 30 mpg, 19.5 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 1.1 apg, 1.0 spg, 0.7 bpg, 59%/75%/57% (FG/FT/3P)
