Someone in the second round might be getting a really good player here.

this guy cant shoot and does not have the speed

[JamStone]

Reggie Williams ran a 3.07 3/4 court sprint and 11.32 in the lane agility test.

By comparison, Derrick Rose's numbers in the same tests: 3.05 and 11.69.
OJ May's numbers in those tests: 3.14 and 11.04

He might not be the fastest player, but he has comparable speed and quickness as two of the more "athletic" guards in the draft.

Not a great shooter, but he knows how to score.

[Mr. Body]

He pulled down a crazy number of rebounds for a guard. Barely played two top level opponents, though.

[T Park]

No relation to the former number 2 of the Spurs.

Is he related to Reggie Williams (former Nugget) ?

No, I don't believe so.

Reggie Williams 6-4 199 SG VMI Sr. -- 11.7 ppg, 54% fg, 25% 3p, 3.3 rpg

One of our pre-camp sleeper picks did everything to show that he is capable of holding his own and proving that his name belongs in draft talks. Following the camp up with good workouts will put his name into 2nd round consideration. From the first day it was evident that Reggie’s great feel for the game and court savvy would translate into any scenario, even if he isn’t scoring as much as he did during his time at VMI. His unselfish approach is a refreshing thing to see (because so many other players think they can boost their stock by jacking up shots), although it makes his stat line less appealing. For the people that evaluate players on more than just their contribution to a box score, Reggie is the epitome of a team player and has turned many heads during the week. He has good athleticism, but it is his incredible wingspan that allows him to make plays that he has no business making. He is very poised getting into the lane and he is able to punish the defense with a feathery soft teardrop, a finish at the basket, or a pinpoint dish to an open teammate. In his first game he was able to match up well with JR Giddens, bothering him with his length, and staying in front of him with his deceptive quickness. There are concerns about his strength as he looks skinny, he may never be able to add much bulk, but his game does not rely much on physicality but rather finesse. He has a nice lefty stroke, with a very smooth release, but he could add some more consistency to his outside jumper. All in all, he has definitely moved up the rankings after a solid showing.
