Lou Williams is a terrible defender who is exploited in the playoffs every year. Hachimura and Avdija can at least defend their position, which is a prerequisite for any playoff caliber starter. They're not yet consistent enough or skilled enough to be relied upon offensively, but I think they'll get there.

I don’t know.
Here’s a link to every single playoff game log of LouWill

I can’t make my mind up after looking at the game scores and the plus minuses. I would say it’s a pretty mixed bag where he has had some super strong playoffs and some weak ones.
He has a career playoff TS% of .494. And that's against backups.
That last part is not entirely true. Lou may be a 6th man but he typically ends up playing a ton of minutes against the other team's starters, especially down the stretch of close games.
