Patrick Williams shot 51% from 3 last year. Shooting has never been a flaw in his game. It was just the fact that he was only being used as a 3&D wing that only shot spot up 3s. He starteed the season ice cold from 3, but he has been on fire since then and his numbers went back above 40%- which is his career average. He was shooting nearly 55% from 3 in his rookie season before he hit the rookie wall and went cold as the season ended. The only difference now is that zach lavine is out and he gets to handle the ball more often and you see him taking shots he's used to taking and creating for himself off the dribble. Patrick rarely handled the ball with the intent to actually score when zach was playing. Patrick williams was, and is one of the best 3&D wings in the nba for the last 3 season, but no one wants to give him his credit for that. They just fixate on the fact that he isnt scoring 20ppg like a 4th overall pick should. But that was always a flawed lense to view him through. I think his ceiling might be 18ppg and like 6 rebounds and 3 ast per game. I think he will give you some 2nd Team All-Defense performances every year and be a great starting sf/pf on a winning team and act as a 3rd or 4th option.
@user-nn6ow3xt5o I just didn't like the way the video fixated on his shooting as if he couldn't shoot until this year. He has always been a very good shooter from 3. And yea, it's a slow release and low volume. But he is making the shots he takes. And that's all you can judge by honestly...
18 and 6? No way. Probably more like 12 and 4. The Bulls will let him test free agency so that reality will set in. He isn't elite and doesn't deserve max pay.
It just really sucks that as much bitching & complaining that fans love to do about Patrick Williams, Patrick Williams has played a few of his best games of the season so far in losses.
Absolutely, Patrick Williams can be an all-star one day. It just depends on how much more he continues to grow & develop his game. And if Billy Donovan or a new Head Coach finally learns how to properly utilize Patrick Williams in the right way for the Bulls to win more games.
Yes, Derrick white didn’t ascend to all star caliber til age 29, a lot of players are late bloomers, I still think he can be a borderline star if not a star
It's impossible to project what he will be, but everything SCREAMS 2-way 3-level scorer. I feel like this year is the teaser and next, ironically after his extension, will be his breakout.
Any young team with money to spend should try to sign him. Hes an unrestricted free agent. Teams like detroit, spurs or maybe some teams with hopes of contending tryna find a wing. This guy is full of potential.
We have been saying potential for a few years now. He has to start playing better. Also, he is injury prone. We passed on Haliburton for him. Terrible.
Not a viable starter, low IQ team defender and has no 3 pt volume. He can defend 3-4 one on one well but rotates poorly and doesn’t anticipate passing lanes well. Really only hits 3s that are the absolute widest open. Doesn’t run off screens well, still a low level cutter 90% of the time.
PWILL has not lived up to his #4 overall pick. Thats why he hasn't received an extension yet. Most of the top 10 in his draft have already been extending. Dude is a role player at best.
Coldest take ever. Try watching some games and having a fundamental understanding of basketball. You think a guy is going to average 20 with three bums with a total 75% usage rate? No chance. Brain dead take.
You dumb. How is he going to average more when he's behind 3 Allstars level players? This is why Zach absence is a blessing. Patrick needs more touches
Anyway, some young team should try to steal him from the bulls. I always like this guy. But this past season, he's showing glimpses of a really good player
Drafting Patrick Williams @ #4 is the reason why I prefer #4 draft picks to be College Juniors and Seniors. Who has time to wait 4 yrs just to show flashes of greatness?
theres numerous examples of this in the nba. you dont draft #1s to winning teams dude. you draft them to rebuilding franchises who are looking to compete in 4-5 years lmao. almost noone is even a fringe allstar out of the gate. Being drafted during covid, an injury in year 2, and to a team with 3 perennial veteran allstars as options ahead of him has slowed the growth of what is already a raw project player
@@smonex9229 this organization is 100% not going into a traditional rebuild after the era it just came out of. at best itll trade for early-mid 20s aged players. theyre 100% not going into a fukl rebuid where we use the draft for 5 years again. This is the 3rd biggest market in the league, they arent doing that
This goes to show how delusional chicago fans are. gave up on this guy before he had a chance. Same with fields. Yall want to just abandon players who still need time. Then yall wonder why Chicago sports suck!
well at least he still averaging 10 point and playing defense(he's a plus defender even without caruso on the court with him). its hard for to score more than 10 when he has 3 offensive minded former all stars who barely plays defense consistently each game and barely passes the ball when they decided to score and guards like ayo and coby who will surely look to score and handle the ball most of the time. if you watch his college highlights he's more comfortable playing inside using his midrange jumper back door cuts and putback dunks unlike in chicago he's playing more of a 3 & D player. in my own opinion what's more unacceptable about patrick williams is not averaging over 5+ rebounds a game, he runs towards opposite side of the court not boxing out or grab offensive board(heck some scouting reports tells he's good at offensive rebounds).
that isnt a bust? lmao for one his first season was covid and his second he missed because of injury. youre an idiot if you label a 22 year old player averaging 10 a game as a 4th option a bust
Who are you to call him a bust? You're not a basketball guy if you think so. Being behind 3 all star caliber players means he doesn't get touches. I'll let you figure out the rest since he's playing very well for cheap Let me hear your expert knowledge!

He has a slow release and also he shoots on low volume. I don’t think anyone ever said anything about his shooting though.

@jonsin7697 wish he would hit the boards though.
Great breakdown of P Will's development. He could be an All-Star in a couple of years.
Appreciate you watching!
Absolutely! He’s still developing and he’s still young.
It just really sucks that as much bitching & complaining that fans love to do about Patrick Williams, Patrick Williams has played a few of his best games of the season so far in losses.
Do you think Patrick Williams could still be a star player in the NBA?
Absolutely, Patrick Williams can be an all-star one day. It just depends on how much more he continues to grow & develop his game. And if Billy Donovan or a new Head Coach finally learns how to properly utilize Patrick Williams in the right way for the Bulls to win more games.
If he keeps ascending, OH YES HE CAN!!!
Yes, Derrick white didn’t ascend to all star caliber til age 29, a lot of players are late bloomers, I still think he can be a borderline star if not a star
Great video keep it up 🔥🔥🔥
Hmmm maybe the bears could learn a thing or two about being patient with a player 🤔
Exactly. But fans are unbelievable arrogant
Great video

Pat is one of the most reliable 3pt shooter of this team now, plus his improving his mid range and that 1 hand jumper adding into his arsenal
I still believed in him when others wanted to trade him.
