1. Cody Williams, Colarado

Shooting has emerged as a theme in this piece. In a sense, Williams is bucking the trend. He's not a strong or weak shooter - this is a question mark for Williams.

Sure, he connected on 41.5% of his three-point attempts this year. Why did he only attempt 1.7 of them per contest? Will Williams be a hesitant three-point shooter at the NBA level?

If not, the sky is the limit for him. This is a prototypical, do-it-all 6'8" wing. Williams is lethal in transition, a plus passer, and a versatile defensive player.

In this draft, that feels like enough. All of these prospects have concerns. It feels likely that Williams can be coached to attempt more threes. The Rockets should find out - unless they're picking higher than expected, that is.
