Former Arizona Forward Derrick Williams is one of the most sought after prospects in tonight's draft. Don't expect him to get drafted anywhere but at number 2, he's clearly one of the two best players in this draft. Cleveland is expected to draft Duke's Kyrie Irving, which means Derrick Williams should go 2. However, the team drafting second is the Minnesota Timberwolves, a completely dysfunctional organization. Don't be surprised if they trade this pick or pick Enes Kanter. Derrick Williams doesn't fit in well for them because he does a lot of the same things as Michael Beasely. The Wolves could draft him and trade him to any number of teams.
Here are what I think his prospects as a pro are. I think he can be a very good stretch 4 in the NBA. He's an explosive athlete whose a really good shooter. The guy shot over 50% from three this year and has a reliable mid range game. Who knows where he'll play on defense but he's athletic enough and works hard enough to figure it out. He should be at least a fringe All Star and possibly make a couple of All Star teams.
