2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jordan Williams


Position: Power Forward

Size: 6-10, 247

School: Maryland, Sophomore


Strengths:
  • Great feel for scoring around the basket
  • Great hands
  • Footwork in the post
  • Decent mid-range game
  • Length
  • Rebounding
  • Outlet passer
  • Strength
  • Improved his body



    Weaknesses:
  • Athleticism
  • Running the floor
  • Leaping ability
  • Explosiveness
  • Lateral quickness
  • Will struggle guarding perimeter-oriented NBA power forwards
  • Free Throw Shooter

    Summary: Jordan Williams was probably better served staying in college for another year. He has improved his body, shedding a lot of weight since the season ended, but there are still major concerns about his athleticism that hurts him in transitioning to the next level. Because of that, he probably is an early second-round pick.

    Player Comparison: Sean May. Sean May was an undersized, big body in the paint which fits Williams’ description to a tee. Neither player possesses great athleticism which hurt May at the next level, and is an obstacle Williams will have to overcome as well.
