Patrick Williams hard at work on his dribble game:

Game changer for me because it is one of the social media platforms (that and TikTok) that I'll never join.
Good to see Patrick Williams working with Olin Simplis. Of the big point guards in the league, he's worked with most of them -- most notably SGA and Dinwiddie. I think Williams is most likely an interior player. But, man, if he's becomes a legit three, he'd look like the no-brainer pick at 11 in retrospect.
Samanic has been working with him. Simplis throws so much at young guys that the game slows down for them - at least for the good ones.
I still have my doubts about where his niche is going to be. There's threes, and there's threes. Even with everything he gets out of working with Simplis, he'd need to add about 40-50 points onto his 3P% to be the kind of 3 that everyone covets. And that's assuming that he's figured out that he's going to have to be more active on both ends. But I guess anything is possible.
Still... doesn't it bother you a little to say, "If he just improves his shooting, and his athleticism, and his rebounding, he could become a really good player"? It feels to me like you could say that about a lot of players.
Source on Samanic working with Simplis?
I'm on the Patrick Williams bandwagon. Would be a good #11 pick, I believe.
I'll see if I can dig something up.
That was easier than I expected. I didn't know if there was going to be a published source. Here's one:

Williams and Poku are close to the same in amount of work needed, if we're being honest. The main difference is Williams' floor is a counterfeit Rodney Rogers, while Poku's floor is Calista Flockhart.
Williams is my second target behind Pokusevski, so I've seen quite a bit of full games from him (also Vassell). I agree with you that he seems a bit flat footed on the perimeter, but one thing to consider is that Florida State's coach had him performing full court press on opposing point guards quite a bit, tbh. Many times he would get blown by, but the fact remains that his coach had faith on him keeping up with opposing PG's (so maybe he knows something we don't?), and he also got plenty of reps doing that, so he wouldn't feel too much like a fish out of water trying to guard on the perimeter in the NBA.
Oh THAT guy. Pat Williams agency must be Team Wasserman then.
My playstyle comparison in his prime would be Josh Smith. Give me the at all day.
Disaster for Williams if knicks draft him. They can't develop players.
Good finds! He already dribbles better than DJ.
Without many obvious stars in the draft, teams sound enticed by the idea of a 6'8", 225-pound forward with the ability to hit threes, shoot off the dribble, live-dribble pass and blow up plays defensively. Being the youngest NCAA prospect eligible only creates the perception that there's more upside to unlock. Williams figures to draw looks from teams in the No. 8-14 range. -Bleacher Report
