Ziaire Williams

Ziaire Williams could add a versatile player to the perimeter in New Orleans. At 6-foot-8, Williams has great size and can handle the ball like a guard. He will most likely play the small-forward position at the next level and this is where he will gain some more size. Williams has the skill to be an impact performer at the next level.

Williams entered his freshman year at Stanford as one of the most intriguing players to watch. He did not have that sensational year that was expected but it will not impact his draft stock much. Williams still has a chance to be a lottery pick and it is because of his talent.

He has a smooth-looking jump shot that can play all over the floor. Ziaire Williams can score at all three levels and does it effortlessly. This is because of his length and finesse. There are some players that look better in the professional game than the collegiate game. Williams could be one of those players.
