Amelia Rayno blog: Williams expecting to see time at 3 & 4; Walker practicing

[BleedGopher]

per Amelia:

Williams said he’s spent a lot of his summer working on shooting and ballhandling. He said coach Tubby Smith challenged him to improve his three-point shot and said he’d look for Williams to take the ball off the break himself, rather than looking for a guard.

wow so you mean they're actually expecting him to develop some basic wing skills? Awesome. Honestly up until last year I wondered how Rodney could possibly be such a poor ball handler. Last year he improved enough to be adequate off the bounce but really if he could simply handle the ball like a decent guard he'll be trouble. And if he combines that with a consistent catch and shoot game then he's a serious problem out there.
