T-Will works out in Toronto

Additional video available right here.

As for Williams, he was in top form.

He’s in great shape having worked out with Gary Payton since the end of the college season, his shot mechanics look better and better, and he’s still as dominant as ever athletically.

The Raptors ran the prospects through an interesting drill where one player would have to defend each of the other five individuals in turn. Only when the defensive player got a stop or rebounded a missed shot, did the next player take their turn attacking. If the defender committed a foul or failed to gain the possession, the two would go at it again until a stop was made, or the offensive player scored. Each of the six individuals yesterday took their turn defending the other five and of the group, Williams dominated every player he was matched up with from an offensive standpoint, from Green to the taller Ingles. He settled for a jump shot once but otherwise simply attacked off the bounce using his superior quickness and athleticism. (Sidebar – it was interesting to hear the Raptors’ brass continuously yelling for players "not to settle" in this drill. Think BC is looking for someone who’s going to attack the basket?) Williams is also extremely strong as even if the defender managed to get Terrence to pick up his dribble, Williams would simply put his shoulder into his man and power through to the hoop or out-jump his man in order to drop-in a baby-hook.

Defensively, Williams excelled as well locking down almost everyone from Green to the much taller Ingles. Only on one occasion did Williams fall for the fake, unfortunately resulting in a dunk.

Awesome

This gives me a reason to watch a few NBA games next season..I have a feeling TWill is going to make big money at the next level. Hope the scouts are paying attention..which ever team lands him is definitely getting a huge asset.

T-Will

will make tons of cash at the next level. Just look at fellow alum Francisco Garcia. He’s a third banana at best for the Sacramento Kings and they signed him to a four year deal at 23 million with a player option at 7 million for the 5th year. So 5 years/30 million total ain’t bad for a player who is no Terrence Williams.

i just hope he doesn't end up on some god forsaken team like toronto

it’d be nice to see him get on a team that gets decent exposure – maybe detroit?

oh how exciting it would be

to have TWO lottery picks in this draft…I just dont see it happening.

me neither...but I wouldn't be THAT suprised if it happened.

I agree with the link I posted though—TWill goes ahead of Clark in my draft order. He’s shown more consistent contribution…the NBA could swallow up someone with Earl’s demeanor.
