2010 NBA Draft, 22nd Pick: Blazers Pick Memphis’ Elliot Williams

You might remember Elliot Williams from Duke two years ago: he was the lightning-quick freshman guard off the bench whose emergence as a starter catalyzed the team. He left Durham following his freshman year to transfer to Memphis to be closer to his ill mother, and he absolutely lit up C-USA as a sophomore.

Williams is heavily left-handed, great at getting to the hole, although his shot is a work in progress. He’s a bit redundant with Jerryd Bayless, so it’ll be interesting to see what the wheeling and dealing Blazers do with them.
