Patrick Williams has been on a hype train since getting drafted by the Chicago Bulls. Williams has all the potential to become an elite two-way player. His defense is reminiscent of Kawhi Leonard, and his offensive potential depends on how far he wants to take it.

We saw his potential in his first season, but due to an injury early last year, we only got to see what Williams offers once the Bulls got into the playoffs; Williams looked fantastic, and that was enough to get excited about coming this season.

Williams has been working hard with his teammates and trainer this offseason and is looking to explode. He most likely won’t be a star this coming season, but we could see a dramatic improvement and consistency in his play.
