His game may not translate to the NBA. Depends on his position I guess. Once he’s outsized by 7 footers he won’t be as dominant. He doesn’t have the offensive skill set of LeBron who is basically the same size.
LBJ didn't really have the same skill set when he came into the league. He couldn't really shoot that well at all IIR. However, he did work and work to become the complete player he is today. I'm sure Williamson can work to eliminate any "flaws" in his game as well. It will be interesting to see what he can do with his lack of height, his incredible strength and athleticism, and competitiveness. He might end up being a player.
Yeah, go ahead and forget about the FANTASY of Williamson going to Atlanta n the draft. That is not how it works down here. We'll make sure we get a player that will ensure that we get bounced in the 2nd rd. every year once we do start making the playoffs again. "PLAYOFFS!!!???" Those r the Hawks I've come to know. Williamson to Atlanta? 😂😂😂😂😂 Stop it man!!! You're killing me!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sad because.....I believe you.....
Lebron is 6'8'' or 6'9'', Williamson is probably 6'6''.
I really like Barrett over him at this point.
Oh his (Williamsons) game will translate just fine IMO. Theres more to playing basketball than being long and being a proficient 3 point shooter. Williamson will have a rather profound impact on whatever team he winds up with without ever having the benefit of 3 point range or ideal length simply because hes a baller who will not b denied. Think a better version (POTENTIALLY) of Charles Barkley. 😎😎😎
And for the uninformed or millenials peak Barkley was profoundly GREAT. 😉😉😉
He is really not that much like Barkley was, other than height and the ability to run the floor that is. He has potential of course, I have him as my #2 pick overall right now. I just like Barrett's skill package a tad more.
Phoenix won it last year, Cleveland has won it twice and Minnesota once in the past decade, I don't really see a pattern that favors mega market teams.
Yeah I heard an interesting take from Stan Norfleet on 92.9 the game yesterday saying that he thinks Barrett should b the pick for the Hawks because they need a guy that u can just hand the ball to and say go get me a bucket which made sense so maybe youre right. Still didn't make sense to me that the best we could do with the #3 pick is a slightly better (I guess) version of Ricky Rubio in 1 of the deepest drafts in memory. 😂😂😂 Some things never change man😂😂😂😂
I got to watch him a few times at Auburn. Great battles against UK with Melvin Turpin, Winston Bennett, and Sky Walker.
Love Barkley, big man could ball and always spoke his mind. His claim as the #1 athlete out of AU is good stuff
Except for that guy who knows...Bo something? Frank Thomas was no joke either.
No doubt Bo was the man !
