Two goals for Patrick Williams if he’s selected by Cavs in 2020 NBA Draft

Goal #2 for Williams if he’s drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers: Average 11.0 points per game on 45.0 percent shooting

For the second goal I have for Williams if he’s drafted by the Cavs, it relates to him averaging 11.0 points per game on 45.0 percent shooting. This doesn’t sound like earth-shattering stuff, no, but it would be notable for Williams to hit this goal.

I wouldn’t imagine that we’d see Williams in a starting role for a bit, considering Osman did hit 38.3 percent of his three-point attempts is going into his fourth season.

However, after a bit into the season, I could definitely see Williams in a starting 3 role, with Osman more so coming off the bench. Dylan Windler, if mostly healthy, which I believe he should be, would be playing at the 2/3 still and even with Williams some at the 4 perhaps with Love or Larry Nance Jr. at the 5.

In any case, I could very well see Williams playing a bunch and again, even fairly early on, could be a starting 3 option for Cleveland. Williams only hit 32.0 percent of 50 total three-point attempts in his season at FSU, which wasn’t fantastic, but he could improve on spot-up situations, and him hitting 83.8 percent of his free throw attempts was encouraging.

Williams showed some pull-up shooting viability in 2019-20 as well, which could help the Cavaliers, and to me, with him being a good finisher, a 45.0 percent field goal shooting clip would be a healthy overall hit rate.

So again for 2020-21 if he’s drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2020 NBA Draft, it’d be nice for Williams to have 11.0 points per outing on a 45.0 percent shooting clip.

Yes, Williams needs to improve as a perimeter shooter, but the form is there and if Williams would end up playing more than he did at FSU, which I’d imagine would be the case, him meeting this goal would show he’s making strides offensively for the Wine and Gold. He has shown driving capability and displayed nice cutting feel as well, and is really athletic.

If he hit this goal, it’d help out the Cavs, too, with Williams also at least showing plus passing feel, though the numbers didn’t show it, being a productive rebounder (7.1 boards per-40 minutes) and highly capable defender.

If Williams ended up being a Cavs selection at especially five or six in the upcoming draft, that’d be more than fine with me with how he could impact winning perhaps earlier on than other prospects, comparatively.
