Obviously the very top echelon of freak athletes but is he actually good at basketball? Not really sure.

well the question really is; will he be good at NBA basketball?? Ehhh... He's worth taking a flyer on..
Y'all might remember J.P. Tokoto 58th pick of the 2015 draft from UNC --- Stanley's better than him for sure, has a better chance...
HE's not really even close to as good at basketball as Justin James who went mid-2nd rd last year and was a Senior. I'd kinda use those 2 players as bookmarks.
Ultimately, a player that gets way more attention because ESPN puts every duke game on TV.
His short arms hinder his defensive potential, which is what worries me.

Certainly has creative handling and passing ability, but that's about all I see with him as far as NBA ability goes.
Im pretty certain he is. He's very aggressive as a cutter and is a good open 3pt shooter. The question to me is if he can expand his ability to attack off the dribble. He's pretty comparable to Terence Ross coming out of college. Nearly the exact same build and athletic ability. I think Cassius is more aggressive around the rim and has more natural strength at the same size.
The ****** ting about him is that he's an old Freshman. Will turn 21 in August. Compare that to a guy like Chris Smith who will turn 21 in December and just finished his Junior year. Smith isnt the freak athlete, but he has more size.
Patrick Williams is probably my favorite prospect of anyone who has potential to fall to the Jazz....he has a chance to be very good

Is this the real Tony Jones?
I kind of agreed with this for a while. I thought Williams showed some combo-forward ability similar to Deandre Hunter during Hunter's freshman year at Virginia. I also thought that Williams' athleticism and impact defensively gave him potential to be like Jimmy Butler if he developed more ball skills. The problem is, I'm not quite seeing much ability to play on the ball, just due to mediocre feel for the game and inability to change directions.
You're not buying in on Bolmaro?

The more I look into this draft, the more it seems strong for the Jazz. A lot of athletic wings and upperclassmen PG's.
The writing style sounds similar. Hard to tell. Read his article in The Athletic and see if he's gushing about Patrick Williams.
That might be enough for me. He's only 19, and I'm assuming he can add strength and improve his shooting with solid coaching. He's also pretty committed on defense.
Just as an aside, Paul Reed is also only 20 having just finished his junior year. I was surprised by that.
