Good points. Going by their basic games, Williams is a 4 in a 3's body and
Walker the opposite. As you say -neither is a classic anything. My only
disagreement is that Williams lack of improvement is not all because of
weight. He really needs to develop a consistant medium range jumper. While
extra weight might make him miss more because of wear on the legs, it does
not affect the fact that he doesn't seem to have even tried to develop a
shot. Immaturity leading to not doing what he should have in the off season
(which also lead to the weight) appears to be part of the problem.
