Draft Notes
Jaylin Williams is a hard working do-it-all center who has great intangibles and makes winning plays. His impact on the game doesn’t always show up on the stat sheet but he’s a high level prospect who has NBA scouts attention.
Jaylin thinks the game at a high level and is a really heady defender. He’s solid one on one and also offers great help defense (and draws a ton of charges). He has quick hands and a knack for swiping the ball and is a decent rim protector as well, although he’s a bit undersized by NBA standards.
Jaylin isn’t a player who needs the ball in his hands much and is very effective at setting screens and playing team offense, without the need to look for his shot. He’s a solid offensive rebounder an a good overall glue-guy who does the dirty work.
He has good mobility and gets up and down the court well. Has decent feet and does a good job of guarding out in space.
Shows promise to become a capable floor spacer in time. Has pretty good shooting form and is starting to expand his range.
