At 6-foot-6, 205 pounds, Eric Williams Jr. checks off boxes for the physical dimension of the modern 3-and-D wing. Skim the rows and columns of Synergy’s database, and the Duquesne sophomore also passes muster. Knocking down 40.8 percent of catch-and-shoot jumpers helps, but the Michigan native is malleable and sound at the defensive end, allowing just 35.4 percent shooting. And just for good measure, he graded out as the top rebounding wing last season in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Stated simply: there’s a reason Missouri, Oregon, and Nebraska are wooing Williams, who in a week has become a coveted commodity as any in the spring transfer market.
