2014 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Kendall Williams


Position: Point Guard

Size: 6-4, 180

School: New Mexico, Senior


Strengths:
  • Can play either guard position
  • Attacking the tin
  • Ability to drive and dish
  • Quickness off the bounce
  • Slashing ability earns him a ton of trips to the free throw line
  • Athleticism
  • Speed in the open floor
  • Improved three-point shooter
  • High release on his jump shot
  • Active defender




  • Weaknesses:
  • Strength
  • Consistency with outside shooting, especially when pulling up off the bounce
  • Not a true distributor


  • Summary: The fact that Williams is a combo guard who is capable of playing either the one or the two at the next level has placed him on NBA radars. He should be a high second-round pick with a slim chance that he sneaks into the late first round depending on what position a team feels he can play at the next level.

    Player Comparison: Jerryd Bayless. Like Williams, Bayless is a combo guard who can play either backcourt position and is more of a scorer than true distributor. Both guys are at their best attacking the basket, though it appears Williams has the potential to be more of a threat from downtown than Bayless.
