Reggie Williams signed a 10-day contract with the San Antonio Spurs out of the D-League and here is a scouting report on his game:

Situation: Since the Spurs could not reach an agreement with JaMychal Green, San Antonio went back to the D-League to fill their final roster spot. Reggie Williams earned the coveted Call-Up this time around while playing with the Oklahoma City Thunder affiliated Oklahoma City Blue. The 28-year-old has 180 games of NBA experience under his belt and showed promise during his time with the Golden State Warriors. Williams averaged 15.2 points per game as a rookie, but saw that number steadily decline in the following years. He signed a free-agent deal with Charlotte before landing in the D-League two years later. Williams played three games with the Thunder last year and now looks for an opportunity in San Antonio. He’ll see time on the wing with Marco Belinelli out with a groin injury. 

Size/Athleticism: Williams is a lengthy 6-foot-6 shooting guard with legitimate size. He isn’t a very good athlete vertically or laterally, but uses his basketball IQ to counteract his lack of athletic ability. 

Ballhandling: As a crafty ballhandler, Williams can create enough separation for his jump shot. He can effectively use ball screens and shows good ball skills for the off guard position.

Shooting: Williams has been a deadly three-point threat in Oklahoma City, shooting 49.2% from beyond the arc. He’s averaging 2.3 made three-pointers per game and is especially effective in the corners, where Williams is 10-of-14 on corner threes this year. The lefty has been especially hot as of late, knocking down 18-of-24 three-point attempts in his last five games. He moves well without the ball and uses screens effectively, setting up his looks before the ball is in his hands. His knock-down jumper will help stretch the defense. 

Penetration: Williams is a slippery slasher and shows enough driving ability to make the defense respect him. He’s shooting 60.7% from inside of 8 feet but this isn’t the strength of his game.

Passing: An underrated passer, Williams is averaging 3.3 assists per game in the D-League. He likes to find the open teammate when he beats his defender off the bounce. Williams can also run the fastbreak effectively since he sees the floor well. His NBA experience helps him in this area.

Defense: Williams isn’t a great defensive asset, as his lack of lateral quickness can hurt him as an on-ball defender. He shouldn’t be a major liability on the defensive end, but he won’t be a lock-down guy either.

Rebounding: Williams shows decent instincts as a rebounder, averaging 5.3 boards per game. He may not always compete inside, but has a good feel for long misses.

Versatility: Williams will need to play on the wing, but can play the shooting guard position or small forward spot in small lineups. He’s a wing best suited for the shooting guard spot.

Final Analysis: As a savvy and productive player without elite athleticism, Williams seems like a perfect fit for the Spurs as a short-term replacement. He’s a knock-down shooter that has been nearly perfect from three-point range recently. Williams is a good passer and should add experience on the wing. He lacks long-term upside, but could stick around this year as an experienced wing at the end of the roster.
