Korey Williams

INTRODUCTION: He spent his collegiate career in Division 2 between Hostos and Lincoln University, earning his nomination in the All-Conference team of the CIAA in the senior season in which he recorded the best statistics in terms of points (16.8) and percentage from the field, confirming his excellent scorer skills. He scores more 2000 points in his university career.

PHYSICAL: Agile and mobile, he has a very fast first step and he almost always manages to generate an advantage. He has long arms for his height and reactive hands which make him very productive on fifty-fifty balls. Good athleticism and great coordination, he manages to find circle shoots even in precarious balance situations. He struggled on physical contacts having a limited physical presence. 

OFFENSIVE PHASE: Point guard with interesting scorer skills, he can go to the basket in different ways from the dribble and has a very deep shooting range. If the defenses switch, he doesn’t hesitate to attack in isolation 1vs1 with a quick first step and go to the basket where he can give away highly spectacular baskets. He can play off the ball and be an effective spot-up shooter (38.3% on 5.6 attempts) or beat close-outs easily. His playmaking skills are limited to pick and rolls and some emergency assists, he is able to pass the ball very well but does not have great reads and this can also be seen from an assist/turnover ratio (+0.07). 

DEFENSIVE PHASE: Very intense and energetic on the ball handler, he can steal the ball directly from the opponent’s handler’s hands and he is also very effective in doubling, the 1.8 steals of this last season are his worst figures. He has good lateral mobility and defensive propensity, he struggles from a physical point of view when approaching the basket where he cannot oppose centimeters and kilos. He must pay attention to the management of fouls. 

IMPROVED AREAS: He certainly needs to improve his possession management skills and share the ball more with his teammates in order not to remain just a scorer. He has a good mentality in defense where he is willing to sacrifice himself for the team, he will have to sacrifice some shots to aspire to an honest career in Europe. He has an interesting upside
