Let’s start with the photo that accompanies this article: Blake Wesley is 6-5 and Williams makes him look tiny. The guy is incredibly long and he’s going to threaten that shot. There’s no way around that. Williams is a tremendous shot blocker.
But that’s not all he is.
Williams blocks shots, true. Watch how often he now controls the block though. This is a pet peeve around here: there’s a macho side to shotblocking. And while it’s fun to spike one into the 10th row, what have you done? Just delayed the next shot. Instead of a turnover, you just gave the ball back.
