    The majority of this board were calling for him to be drafted over Irving.

    Look! Athleticism, potential vs un-atheletic fatty.

    Remind you of anything? Yes, Wiggins vs Parker debate.

    Call me crazy but I really thought Derrick Williams would become the player that Michael Beasley was supposed to be (A 20 ppg scorer), but obviously that didn't happen.

    I'm not gonna go down on him just yet... keep in mind that he's only 23 years old.

    I think the reason why he hasn't lived up to that potential is because he's been in bad situations his whole career. Down there in Minny, he played with Michael Beasley for 2 seasons. He didn't really get his chance.

    Then he got traded to the Kings. Williams had some nice games with them. His only problem was consistency. He'd have streches where he'd score 12-18 ppg and then it would go downhill. It was like a roller coaster. Being in Sacramento was also bad for him, because right after they got anther SF, Rudy Gay. Williams ended up getting less touches and his minutes decreased.

    The Wolves benched him because he sucked, not any other reason. We would have happily benched Beasley and did at times. He needs to go on the shittiest team possible and work it out.

    Wow what a hater.. Derrick Williams is a tweener just like B-Easy, Marvin Williams, Anthony Bennett etc. Andrew Wiggins has great size for his position. Meanwhile Jabari Parker could be a tweener and look these busts were drafted second overall.

    Except Wiggins and Parker play the same position and are true to their position. Williams was/is a tweener. That was the main turnoff on him.

    It's no secret that Derrick Williams can look great one minute and horrible the next. One thing that he can't do is shoot when close to the rim. It's been going on a long time. You'd think that he could seeing all of those highlight reel dunks, but he's one of the worst in the league. You can't play him small minutes because he's inefficient and unreliable from long distance. He's not that great on defense anyway and yes, he is a tweener. It's hard to give him minutes if he doesn't show up. He can do a little bit of everything, he just has to do it.
