Is it fair to label Patrick Williams as a bust? (alien.top)

He was the 4th pick in the 2020 draft and has pretty much done nothing notable in his career. This past game against the Pistons he was benched down the stretch and dropped a whooping 0 points in the game. Is it fair to classify him a bust now?

The biggest issue with Pat is that there's clearly no plan for what he should be doing on the court. People complain he just sits in the corner on offense but that's clearly what he's being told to do. If it wasn't it would have been said by now. If he was ignoring orders just to stand around then he'd have been actually punished for it.

There isn't a clear idea of what he should do. No one tries to get him open shots, and when he gets the ball he's too afraid to shoot. As soon as he goes to a team that provides him actual direction he'll likely take off.
