NBA scouts see Derrick Williams as a future pick-and-pop player who could stretch defenders out to the three-point line.

Williams took just 16 three-pointers as a freshman, making four of them; this season, he's launched 45, connecting on 28.

It is that ability to turn potential into production that makes him appealing to those doing the drafting.

"He has room for physical growth and basketball growth,'' one scout said. “Now a lot of it is up to him. Will he be the kind of guy who goes in the gym and gets 500 shots up a day? You can't handicap that stuff, but he has a really high offensive skill set.''
