    Williams’ last three g league games were pretty impressive.

    24 points, 10 assists, 62% FG
    26 points, 10 assists, 48% FG
    31 points, 10 assists, 61% FG

    sidenote: one of his teammates down there was Allen Crabbe lol

    He was briefly on the team this season when everyone got Covid.

    But not a lottery pick, so worth giving a look.

    With all of the thread titles around here, this seems apropos. Just switch “unbelievable” with “inconceivable”:

    Yes. Still, it’s a slippery slope

    Eubanks is a big, athletic, screen setting, rebounding, defensive minded rim runner. Reminiscent of the Vanilla Gorilla. If he can get starts for Popovich, he must have something to offer.

    Billups said today the coaching staff fell in love with Williams when he was here (Billups had covid so he wasnt around) Said he followed his games in the g league after he left and thought he had “incredible” (should’ve said unbelievable imo) games.

    Eventually the hot shooting is gonna level out, so stuff like this is what’s really impressive. His size will limit his upside, he looks like he’s gonna be limited to guarding one position, but he looks like he can be a solid backup point guard. He’s also got the perfect coach for his development. Nice signing.

    Seems like a smaller but slightly quicker CJ McCollum. The defense is on their heels.

    Saw someone mention Kyrie, and the way he creates space is similar, which is insane for an undrafted rookie. Dunno about the shot, it’s too early, but he looks like a legit scoring guard. Seems he can get to his spots easily

    Haha so now Brandon Williams is Kyrie and McCollum like.

    Portland fans always rushing to judgement. Armon Johnson is the next Greg Anthony

    And perhaps he learned from his mistake?

    Is he under contract next year? Seems like Dame/Williams, Ant/Hart would be nice next season?
