Zach Lowe recently said Williams was looking for an extension that would pay him more than $20m per season. He's averaging 4ppg on 27% FG so far to start this season. The former top 5 pick has been very disappointing

Donovan is committing malpractice starting White and Williams over Carter and Craig and playing Ayo 5 minutes a game

typical reporter spreading what he "heard" to defame a player

Damn imagine if they drafted a guy like Haliburton, Maxey, Quickley, Cole Anthony, Vassell, Okongwu, Bey, Josh Green, Jaden McDaniels, or even Desmond fucking Bane 💀

Ngl though, I still believe in him, just not on the Bulls. Change of scenery is needed.

He’s looking for Devin Vassel money when he’s actually in the Grant Williams bracket

I still don't know why the bulls drafted him at 4. Even at the time it was a massive reach

How do you manage to play worse than Killian Hayes

I don't remember the last time such an obviously medicore player was defended so heavily.

He's getting the benefit of the doubt because of WCJ and Lauri as if somehow he'll magically develop because those guys got better.

The fact is that he's been in the league long enough and shown so little that it's clear he doesn't have it. That's the difference between those guys and him.

I'm convinced people who say this don't watch him. When he's out there, he's basically a zero. Most of the time, anonymous.

People say he's a good defender. Okay, fine, he's a good defender. I don't particularly think so because he can't rebound for shit, constantly gets outworked and bullied and is too slow to keep up with the quicker perimeter players but fine you can have that.

He has no offensive game beyond shooting 3s which he's only OK at. Sometimes. He's can't post up smaller guys, he can't beat guys off the dribble, he can't create his own shot or create for others.

He's had plenty of time to show something or improve an aspect of his game and he's failed miserably.

They need to get rid of him unless they can sign him extremely cheap which isn't the case. If it wasn't for Lauri turning into an All-Star, we wouldn't even be having these conversations.

He's like a slightly better Anthony Bennett.
