2011 NBA Draft Results: Jordan Williams Goes No. 36 to New Jersey Nets

When you look at Jordan Williams, you can’t help but see the broad shoulders and 6’9” body that makes him appear to be the next big thing at power forward. But then you notice the layer of baby fat that is still present and are forced to question his conditioning.

Williams played quite well during his second season for the Maryland Terrapins during the 2010-2011 campaign, averaging 16.9 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, but he may still have been better off going back for one more season of...well, seasoning.

The power forward is a great competitor and plays with a tremendous amount of energy and drive. For example, he took a lot of time between his freshman and sophomore seasons to work on his post moves and they improved dramatically.

Right now, Williams is a very good, very smart player without too much upside. 

He'll be a very viable backup to Brook Lopez in New Jersey.
