Here's some Kam Williams for you...

Kinda reminds me of Reeves. Hope he can be as good!
Wow, that IS a push shot.
He would not be able to get that shot off if guarded closely. However, in Pope's offense, with multiple outside shooters, he'll still get open looks.

Nice to see he can play above the rim and shoot.
72% FG around the rim. I dig it. 41%/38% from each wing, 50% from the corner 3. Feels like a perfect 3 and D wing. A more upside version of Almonor who can drive. Oh and 1.388PPP in transition. That is almost 90th percentile. This kid has serious upside.

Looks good. I’m loving the length and the handles. If things work out Kam could be a very nice replacement for Jaxson.
Raising his release point is one of the easiest fixes for a shooter. Shouldn't be a big adjustment if they want to do it. He's got good vertical alignment unlike OO.
I agree, he does remind me of Reeves but a lot more athletic.
(Not argumentative @ you…just a different perspective)
I think the “low release/can’t get it off” concept is largely over exaggerated.
Ppl claimed Reeves would have trouble getting his shot off as well; Curry and Trey young (and many other modern shooters) both have low release at 6’3 and have no trouble getting shot off. Williams is 6’7.5. It’s more about the fluidity and quickness of the release than about the “set” point. I’d rather have someone with a quick/efficient release than the overhead windup of yesteryear like T.Jones and Wiltjer…and even Walls college 3 ball form.
I love that 72% FG at the rim. We need some dudes that can finish.
Seeing as how he averaged <2 2pt baskets per game, this video seems to show every one of them.
As for his 3pt shot, it reminds me of Edwards. It's a little bit slow (like Edwards was).

You're exactly right. Of course, a guard would traditionally be quicker, enabling a quicker shot. Regardless, good point. I was concerned about Reeves in the beginning as well.
I don't think I saw him miss one of his floaters in that video. Pretty efficient
Long and smooth athlete, not explosive. Movement reminds me of Jaxson Robinson a bit. Will be interesting to see how he develops.
