Power Forward: Patrick Williams

Patrick Williams is a very similar player to P.J. Washington. He can play off the ball, shoot from deep, finish in the paint, and defend. While Williams is a good fifteen pounds lighter than Washington, he is still a very confident and competent defender of big men. His career 41% from deep means he cannot be left alone by the defense. Overall, having two versatile, three-and-D wings around Ball is ideal.
