In his first action since Oct. 28, second-year forward Patrick Williams displayed a confident approach that he sometimes lacked during his rookie season.
But the been-there, done-that opening to Williams’ answer underscored the confident nature that the second-year forward displayed all night.
Williams finished with seven points, two rebounds and that lone steal in just shy of 19 minutes. He exited the game unscathed and said he’ll finish the back-to-back set on Tuesday in Milwaukee.Yes, Williams reiterated his calling card is defense. But for a player who deferred last season at times to the point where he looked passive, his ability to translate what he watched on film during his five-month absence to real-time decisions is important.
“The fact that he had last year to play a lot and then this year he had to watch a lot of film, I’m hoping in some way this stuff is connecting for him. Last year, there was tons of opportunity for him to be more aggressive. He’s first and foremost and unselfish guy. But he has to understand we need him to do some of those things. And he’s understanding his spots a little better.”
“I’m not going to say they’re worn down. But having a fresh body come in who has been out for five months, I think it’s good for me to bring energy, bring a new vibe to the team,” Williams said of his teammates. “As the season goes on and I get more comfortable, we can talk about roles. But for now, just bring as much energy as possible.”
