2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jordan Williams


Position: Power Forward

Size: 6-10, 247

School: Maryland, Sophomore


Strengths:

Great feel for scoring around the basket

Great hands

Footwork in the post

Decent mid-range game

Length

Rebounding

Outlet passer

Strength

Improved his body



Weaknesses:

Athleticism

Running the floor

Leaping ability

Explosiveness

Lateral quickness

Will struggle guarding perimeter-oriented NBA power forwards

Free Throw Shooter

Summary: Jordan Williams was probably better served staying in college for another year. He has improved his body, shedding a lot of weight since the season ended, but there are still major concerns about his athleticism that hurts him in transitioning to the next level. Because of that, he probably is an early second-round pick.

Player Comparison: Sean May. Sean May was an undersized, big body in the paint which fits Williams’ description to a tee. Neither player possesses great athleticism which hurt May at the next level, and is an obstacle Williams will have to overcome as well.
