According to Joe Vardon of cleveland.com, the Cleveland Cavaliers expect Derrick Williams to have a significant impact in a rematch against the Golden State Warriors. The franchise believes those contributions may be unsung, and with the way the fans and media look at what makes a player valuable today, that could very well be true.
Williams probably won’t show flashes of being an elite scorer or any elite skill that makes people feel he’s worthy of his draft position but what Williams will do is help one elite team beat an even more elite team with effort, efficiency and energy.
