If Ziaire Williams had Obi catching those passes he'd have 3-4 assists to go with his pair of nothing-but-net 3s.

Ziaire’s shooting and passing ability is impressive but yeah he has a very slight frame.

He's having a good game so far.

I love how methodical Ziaire Williams is being; kid just takes his time and does the right thing at a very high level.

I still don't know if he'll be able to do those things at the next level tho. It's all about projectability and he's extremely pookie.

He's definitely more of a Tatum/Ingram body type, but that length & shot look extremely projectable tonight. And if the shot-making translates then that should open so much up for him given his length & smart passing.

why do i have a feeling that this FO is already obsessed with him...

i'm not even going to bother this year

I've been on the Ziaire train for awhile. really impressed w/ his 1st game

my comp for him is PG13

he definitely needs to get stronger but at his size, he's so fluid, can shoot off the dribble, pass, rebound, and defend. he's the total package IMO

yeah Boston is definitely towards the top of the Knicks wish list....I wonder why

it'll be interesting to see if they take Boston over a prospect who had a better freshman season than him due to connections (I'm assuming they're gonna draft a freshman since thats the strength of this draft)

Watch on YouTube

If he keeps shooting it like this, then my concerns for his frame won't even matter. Kid can stroke it and plays within the team concept with good passing.

the shot looks really good. that pull-up mid-range game will be a difference maker in the NBA. the best wings have that in their arsenal

Don’t worry too much, Jalen Green signed up with CAA and that’s probably even more important than any UK vibes. Boston just doesn’t look like someone that should be a top 5 pick in this draft. His defense is pretty meh and he’s not someone that creative off the bounce. Definitely much rawer than Cade or Suggs. If we end up outside the top 5, I’d expect him to be in play but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
