No thanks. Somebody said he reminds them of Wilson Chandler. Pretty accurate. We don't need another Wilson Chandler. One is enough.
Best Case: Poor Man's Andre Iguodala
Worst Case: Dominic McGuire
• Terrence Williams looks like a pretty safe bet to be drafted in the top-20, but that won’t be because of his situational stats.
We knew that Williams wouldn’t look great—as his main virtues lie in other areas besides his scoring output. Much of his value resides in his ability to lock down defensively, rebound at a phenomenal rate, and distribute the ball effectively. Still, it is a bit eye opening to see how poorly he ranks amongst his peers in most categories we’re measuring.
The first thing that jumps out when evaluating Williams scoring ability is how few possessions he uses each game. His 14.1 Pos/G ranks last amongst the top ten shooting guard prospects, and as the fourth lowest overall. Even more concerning is his lack of efficiency on those possessions, as his PPP of .87 is the fifth worst on our list. There were some aspects of his situational statistics that did surprise us.
For a player with great strength and athleticism, Terrence Williams was not a very good finisher at the rim. His 1.11 PPP was exactly average, as was his 57% shooting in limited transition touches. That really hurts his cause since he has major shortcomings as a shooter. He scored only 1.12 PPP on his open catch and shoot looks, which isn’t awful, but his .58 PPP on pull up jumpers ranks last amongst shooting guards and second to last amongst all guards (Brandon Jennings is last). It doesn’t help that he gets fouled on a meager 9% of his attempts from the field, which limits his efficiency even more.
In one-on-one situations, Williams wasn’t very effective either, putting up just .61 PPP, ranking him well below the average of .78 PPP. Some of this has to do with his complete inability to score when he puts the ball on the floor going left (15.4% FG on isolations). There is some good news for Williams though, as he is capable of running the pick and roll with some efficiency (.81 PPP). That stems largely from his playmaking ability, which seems even more important to his stock now that we see just how hard a time Williams has scoring in most situations.
What’s clear is that whoever drafts Williams shouldn’t be expecting much out of him offensively.
