Patrick Williams is bringing more and more to the Bulls side. The interior feels good in Chicago, and sure of its abilities, little Patrick does not intend to stop there.
When you’re playing alongside DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, being a primary offensive option seems pretty complicated. Patrick Williams has understood this and is content (for the moment) with fructify the crumbs that come to him. The 21-year-old seems very phased offensively lately, thanks in part to a clinical 3-point shot.
The stats do not lie, since the start of the season, P-Will has taken his ease in the refreshment bar and attempted an average of three long-distance shots for a success of around 45% success. A percentage that has risen to 50% since the beginning of November. One more weapon that allows him to run 11.3 pawns, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks on average over the last 12 games. Sunday, in training, he took the opportunity to communicate his good form to KC Johnson d NBC Sports.
“I always felt that I had what it took to be a very good player. But now I’m starting to feel like I have what it takes to be a star and a superstar in this League. »

A question regarding Patrick Williams’ improved 3-pt shooting led to something deeper at Sunday’s practice.

No doubt, the confidence is there for the native of Charlotte who is making his mark in the offensive systems of the Bulls, but also by protecting his racquet. Brawler on the rebound and able to swing pancakes, the interior knows how to be very valuable when it comes to physical play. His defense once morest Giannis Antetokounmpoa few days ago, had not gone unnoticed.
Patrick Williams is on the right track, he is progressing, but be careful, he still has a long (very long) way to go before claiming the status he desires.
