Lou Williams

Louis Williams (HOU) – “Sweet Lou”

Profile:

Guard: 6’1, 175 lbs; 13th year, South Gwinnett HS

NBA Role: scoring combo guard • Hybrid

‘Like I’m Louuuuu Will’ – a scoring 6-7th man with some pop, it’s not always pretty but Lou’s gonna end up w/ (at least) 15-20 points every night; at 6’1, Lou’s a fearless guard bred for hunting big game – loves drifting fadeaways (to the left), boasts a decent floater (not afraid to drive amongst the trees), can beat his man for easy layups; almost exclusively goes to his left but is adept at finishing on both sides; shot selection is a concern – hell, it’s not gonna improve at this point! – but Lou Will is clutch in tight situations and can step into a marquee role every now and then; don’t expect 10 assists – solid passer but is on the floor to get buckets; ridiculously good at drawing ‘jump shot fouls,’ especially from beyond the arc; acquired by HOU at the deadline (Feb. ’17) – gives D’Antoni another offensive weapon for the postseason
