A finisher on one end and flyswatter on the other, Duke basketball target Mark Williams may pick up the elusive fifth star before the end of his upcoming senior year.
Preventing the four-star 2020 center from climbing the ranks in his class — he currently sits at No. 37 on the 247Sports Composite — could turn out to be his limited hops, strength, and offensive weapons.
But there’s no questioning his passion as a player, his maturity as a person, his instincts in the paint on defense, his quick decisions with the ball on offense, and his 7-foot, 225-pound frame with a 7-foot-4 wingspan (for fans who have followed Duke for at least 20 years, imagine a more polished version of former Blue Devil big man Casey Sanders).
