Rockets sign Reggie Williams to a two-year deal

Can Schaub throw it deep enough for him to be effective?

2012-13 Season
PPG APG RPG PER
3.7 1.0 1.3 13.22

 

Shot 30% from 3 last 2 seasons. Is he a shooter?

 

Last season stats for those who are interested, played for Charlotte last year:

MPG FG% 3p% FT% OFF DEF RPG APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG
9.5 0.432 0.306 0.476 0.2 1.1 1.3 1.0 0.3 0.0 0.5 0.5 3.6

I HOPE THIS IS THE RIGHT GUY

 

Morey just loading up on vet min 1 year guaranteed deals with journeyman shooters

very interesting approach

 

Sweet!

Reggie is a great shooter. And probably got him on the cheap too.

 

Floor spacing is gonna be awesome.

 

Looks like he shot 42% from 3 for GSW a few years ago... then barely played for the Bobcats the past two seasons and didn't do anything.

 

Hmm, I spaced this out more in my post but it all seems to have come together.... unfortunate.

 

Good signing. He has shown he can score in bunches. I think we sign one more wing now- a defender.

 

Dude is a beast in 2k13

 

Never heard of him but wasn't that 09 GSW team good kinda good?

 

For the minimum?

Solid pick-up!

 

I like it! He was linked to us a year back and did some nice things with Golden State. Was nothing much with the Bobcats but me thinks a good situation will do good things for you career. Can any1 break his game down? How's his defense for instance?

 

This is actually a pretty good pick up, to me he's easily better then Anderson and Casspi.

 

Scouting report
+ Left-handed wing with scorer's instincts and "point forward" passing skills.
+ Average athlete at best and an atrocious defender with poor habits.
+ Very good spot-up shooter. Careful player -- rarely draws fouls or turns it over.

Analysis
Williams had a rough year in his first season with Charlotte, struggling with knee problems and failing to deliver his useful offensive spark while getting lit up routinely on defense. While his counterpart data was solid, the Bobcats gave up 4.3 points per 100 possessions more with him on the court and Synergy graded him as the team's worst defender -- quite a statement on this team.

Williams shot only 30.8 percent on 3s, far below his career norms, and it's fair to expect that number to bounce back this season. But the more worrisome development was that his free throw rate cratered. Williams had shot 67 percent at the basket with a high free throw rate in his final season in Golden State, but last season he had a below-average rate, barely half what he'd done a year earlier.

Otherwise, his numbers weren't far off what he did in Golden State. Williams saw a small uptick in turnovers, but basically he did everything else at about the same rate and efficiency he'd done as a Warrior; he just stopped making 3s and getting to the line. Unfortunately, that's the difference between being a highly efficient sixth man and just an average offensive player who can't guard anyone.

Pre-Charlotte fever he was great. He'll get wide open looks, should be upwards of 40% from 3.

 

The 37% career 3pt shooting sounds good. Can he play "D" though?
