There’s just something about hyper-athletic seven footers that can run and jump. Center Mark Williams out of Duke certainly fits that bill, and he landed the 15 spot in our Brew Hoop Community Draft Board.
Another player that I have at least some experience watching due to that Duke-UNC Final Four game, Williams is bouncy and earned ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors. AKA, he blocked a lot of shots. His minutes vaulted upward significantly in year two, but his block percentage wasn’t all that much higher than his freshman year. Still, 2.8 blocks per game in the collegiate level is nothing to sneeze at.
