Preface:
The version of the abandoned son counterattacked all the way, in the new era of basketball environment, conscientiously do their own work
Although it is not optimistic about the trend, it is good at details, meticulous, and strives to be self-motivated
In Mark Williams, I see too many ordinary people who are ordinary but not willing to be mediocre
In this article, I would like to pay tribute to all the building workers and all the hard-working workers in the Spurs Zone
Hats off to all those who love life and love basketball
I. Synopsis:
As my favourite player in the Blue Devils this year, Mark Williams is always full of energy, he can fully participate in all the operations of the team, do all the dirty work, and he always comes forward when the team can't open the situation. After the joint trial, Ma Wei's physical test data exploded abnormally, and his static data was enough to support him to become an excellent frame protector at the NBA level. Let's take a look at this player.

IV. Scouting Report:
NBA Scouting Live:
Merit:
Excellent low-post scorer
Outstanding ability to score without the ball
The offensive end is solid
Good rebounder
Excellent defender
A talented capper
Shortcoming:
His projection range must be expanded
His free throw level needs to be improved
Not an elite-level ball carrier, with a certain tendency to make mistakes
The offensive end technique is rather crude
There is sometimes no discipline on the defensive end
It is more difficult to change the outer line
Summary:
Mark Williams is a very tall, strong player at Duke. He didn't have many playing opportunities in his freshman season, but he could play an efficient role in his limited playing time, and this year, Mark Williams shined, he was Duke's best rebounder, block expert and interior framer, and Mark Williams is expected to be selected in the middle of the first round in the 2022 draft.
NBA Draft Room:
After two years of training in the Blue Devils, Mark Williams is expected to be selected in the middle of the first round, and with a high probability of being selected at the end of the lotto, he is a mainstay in the team's penalty area, protecting the team's box at all times, using his tall stature, arm span and defensive instincts to change the game.
Mark Williams' rebounding ability is very good, and he knows where he is on the team, and he will use his rebounding ability and defensive ability to contribute to the team. His defensive influence can force opponents to change shooting routes, and can fly their opponents' layup fans near the basket. He is good at using his bounce and body advantages to interfere with his opponent's shooting, rather than aimlessly jumping.
Most of his main scoring methods are hand-to-hand blocking and dismantling, and in the next level of the game he will do a very good job in this regard, after blocking and dismantling the ball, he can vigorously dunk the ball into the basket, and even often stage a separate dunk.
His performance on the free throw end is relatively stable, with a 73% free throw shooting percentage (he also has a terrible 72% shooting rate in the penalty area).
His footsteps are heavier, it is more difficult to turn around, and he may have a little trouble facing NBA-level blocking and dismantling.
He is a team player, often putting the team first, he is good at understanding his role and is good at playing his role efficiently in the team.

VI. Personal Summary:
If you are a fan of the Blue Devils, then you will not ignore The performance of Marvel, the Duke interior line guarded by him greatly reduces the defensive pressure on Ben Kairo and AJ Griffin, the most efficient frame protector in the ACC league, Marvel's rebounding rate can reach 17.4%, the rebounding rate of the backcourt can reach 20%, such data can be ranked fourth in the ACC League, and his defensive efficiency value is as high as 93.2, ranking first in the ACC League. His blocking percentage is the first 11.4% in the ACC League, and he is only second only to Walker Kessler in this rookie center, and it can be said that he is the second best choice after Jalen Durham in this rookie center's selection.
After watching Crazy March's performance, the image of Mark Williams in my mind became clearer and clearer - he would become a very useful leafy frame inner line. If a team lacks a top frame protector, then Mark Williams is a very cost-effective option; If the team needs a person who can block down the inside line to finish, Ma Wei can also fit this person perfectly; If the team needs a long man who can help with the card slot and assist in the defense, then Ma Wei is the perfect fit. But in addition, Ma Wei does not have what a qualified NBA team level inside line requires: has a certain ability to respond, has enough outside range, large defense and small ability. There is no doubt that Marvel is a very good player, but it is unrealistic to want him to do more.
Personal Q&A:
If you choose Mark Williams, do you want to deal with Jacob Pelter?
My answer is yes, and it's best to do it on draft night. The reasons are as follows: as far as current reports are concerned, sources have revealed that if the Spurs choose a center in the draft, other teams will inquire about Peltel. In the modern basketball system, it is no longer enough to have two centers without range on the court, and even in the same team, it will look very awkward. Look at the two interior players currently on the Spurs bench , Zach Collins and Jock Randell. Management is still more inclined to look for big players with some outside shooting ability in the main position.
Trading Peltel on draft night is a good choice to improve the picks, the Spurs have four picks this year, and I personally think that there is only a small probability that all will be used to select rookie players, and to a large extent one or two will be selected to improve the pick or trade in exchange for more future assets. As a player with a very high degree of completion in the Spurs lineup, Jacob Pelter has great transaction value, and for the fourth-pick Kings, the 13th and 15th picks of the Hornets, who continue to have a record and lack of interior protection, Jacob is undoubtedly a very good supplement, and it is not impossible to use Peltel to improve the pick.
In addition, I would like to analyze the lack of projection such as Peltel, Mark Williams, and the positioning of such players in modern teams. We're looking for this type of player in teams that reached the division semifinals this year, with Adams from the Grizzlies (deprecated in the semifinals), Powell of the Lone Rangers (pseudo-starter), and Rooney of the Warriors as the main rotation. In other teams, interior players who do not have range still play as bench players for the team for about 10 minutes.
So my conclusion is that "blue-collar" players like Pelter are a must, but they don't have to be too much. So we can reduce the allocation of such players, just complete the necessary guard frame card blocking and finishing work, and release the ball to be handled by the forward or defender players. That is to say, some of the tactical systems currently carried out by the Spurs in this starting lineup can be replicated on the bench by Jones, Lonnie Walker (if still there). I was even a little bit looking forward to the connection between Jones and Mark Williams, the seniors.
