I don't really see that as a big issue. Williams is almost 260 pounds, if he can come in and play good defense and pull down a lot of boards I don't find an issue with drafting him, I was a little baffled at first but he's a good safe pick. If he's a good defensive PF for your future and pulls down 10 rebounds what's not to like?
