That's one of those habitual things more than it is technical. He can go left, he'll just always feel like he has the advantage when he takes the dribble to the right. That can be fixed with repetition. The jumpshot is what really needs a lot of refining. He has pretty bad form when he spots up. Has a strange looking windup and tends to fade away regardless of how open he is, lol.

I think his ideal situation would be in a 6th man role where he can come in and dominate the ball when your first teamers are resting, that way his skill isn't hurting the first team's efficiency. He can do that pretty much anywhere, as most teams really lack that go-to bench guy. As a starter? It gets a little trickier, because i'd be less inclined to give up, or pay him what it would take to make him a full time starter.
Honestly, i can see him taking the OJ Mayo route where he signs a short deal, really gets his head on straight and works on becoming a better player after he realizes that even the team that drafted him didn't have enough trust to give him a long term deal. Personally, i'd love to see him with the Thunder.

Yeah, but then you'll have Westbrook and Reke on the floor at the same time during 4th quarters. ewwwww.

Again, this is me assuming he has the will to turn himself into a completely coachable player (which is arguable), but he has the skill and athletic ability to be a really top notch defender. He shows it in spurts. If he were to be on a contender, obviously he'd be a second or third option at best. And down the stretch you could have him play the wing to defend and for dribble penetration should the ball get swung out to the weakside.
Of course it's speculative, but he's still very young and raw as a player. He has had **** coaching and development in Sacramento.

Has team full of white guys. Historically bad 3pt shooting team.
Does not compute.

Who has more trade value? JJ Redick or Arron Afflalo?

When Love's hand is fully healed and Budinger comes back it will improve. It's bad right now though.

If the Kings determine that they're NOT keeping Tyreke past this year, then i could see them doing this. Other than that, no. Williams has done nothing in his career and has little value right now.

Worst situation ever for Williams, and the Wolves for that matter. He's making some strides in really limited minutes but that's just it, he can't stay on the floor with Love being back. The experiment at the 3 is dead.

Yup, I still really like Williams, think he'll become a really good player whenever he or Love leaves Minny, but until then...at least he gets to be in the lockerroom with a really funny group of guys?

Carlise will show Tyreke how to ball only if he comes cheap.

I'd love to see him play for Carlisle. I feel sorry for a lot of the guys on our team, they're truly talented but they've had clown head coaches their whole careers.

Man the Knicks are really all in with this small-ball three point shooting thing. They're playing Melo at the five right now.
And there has to be a D-league PG somewhere better than Darius Morris. There just has to be.

Carmelo is destroying Gerald Wallace right now. He did such a good job on him last time too.
And Cavs up 54-39 on the Lakeshow at halftime....
