If the last handful of seasons is any indication, the age of back to the basket big men is fading. Smaller lineups with switch-heavy guards and athletic big men is the basketball trend that isn’t going away anytime soon.
In comes Robert Williams, the 6’9” big man that is projected to be drafted anywhere from the back end of the lottery to late teens. He was projected as a surefire lottery pick after his freshman year, but decided to come back to raise his draft stock.
Williams is projected to be a rangy center at the next level in the form of Clint Capela.
