Utah Jazz: 10 potential draft targets in NCAA Tournament

Patrick Williams, Florida State

*Stats provided as of 3/7/20

The more I watch Florida State freshman Patrick Williams, the more intrigued I get. He’s raw, and he’s going to be a project, but you can see the upside he possesses. If the right team takes him, he could turn into a really good player down the line.

Williams is averaging 9.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks for Florida State. They should finish with a top-five seed and have the talent to make a deep run. His stats don’t jump off the page, but Williams is a fun player to watch thanks to his athleticism and energy.

Going back to school for another year or two wouldn’t hurt him, of course, but if he has a good feeling about going in the first round, perhaps he should go for it. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if a contending team takes him late and takes their time with him.

The combo forward would be an exciting prospect for any team. He’s a great athlete, has a strong frame for his age and his shooting mechanics are solid. He should fit well in today’s position-less NBA.

Williams is quickly becoming one of my favorite prospects to watch. If the Jazz opt to go with a developmental project, Williams could be the guy.
