They better be sure he’s the better player than Duren.

Is he a plodder, or can he get up and down the court?
He runs relentlessly.

Re: Welcome To Charlotte: Mark Williams
I honestly think Duren might end up being the better player, but Williams is the better fit here.

He won’t make it past his rookie contract in this current NBA.

Re: Welcome To Charlotte: Mark Williams
There is plenty of value for defensive/rebounding C's.
I think he is a safer pick than Duran.
If he can figure out how to shoot, he may be Myles Turner-like. Which would be funny and a great get for us. If not, he is a Capella/Robert Williams type.
And if he busts, we now have 2 Nick Richards.

He runs relentlessly.
I’m not knocking the bloke at all, but it’s one thing to run the court once when you get a head start at the FT line - I’m more wondering if he can get up and back over and over.
I’m looking forward to YouTubing him all day tomorrow and learning about him!

He is very, very similar to Gobert. I think he will be good for us.

Re: Welcome To Charlotte: Mark Williams
i'll try to separate mark from the trade. im pretty excited about him. never quite understood why duren was ranked higher. we needed mark more than we needed duren. he could start by mid season, assuming his competition is mason, pj, kai. seems like he stoked to be here. seems like a class act. intrigued by the shooting.

I mean, he literally has zero choice but to say that - he traded Duren away. He’d look like an idiot if he said otherwise.

If he really wanted duren I feel he would've taken hin. Cavs weren't ever taking a center. I'm not nearly as down on the deal as some since we actually have a pick next season.

Seems really “nice”.
Would have liked a rabid dog type back there. A defensive general to forge our identify.
Listening to him speak his personality reminds me a little of Okafor.
