It looks like Williams has been putting up good stats with the Orlando G league team. He is the same age (24) as Dennis and has bounced around teams for several years. He is a 6’1 guard. Sort of weird we seem interested in these smaller guards.
We never have a good g league team. Sort of confused why we don’t look for size and youth if you don’t care about your G league team. For instance Darius Bazely is available. He may never pan out but fits the prototype teams want.
I know nothing about Williams but the teams inability to really care about two ways makes me question their moves.

The Mavs do this sometimes... fall in love with an undersized point guard. I keep thinking they see something that isn't the stats, but I have no idea what it is. I mean Williams looks fine on paper, but so does Dennis.
Maybe good point guards aren't easy to replicate in the stat sheet. Maybe he's got great game management or some other hidden quality that requires an eye test. I wish I knew what it was they liked about him.
