Trinity: Dominant Advantage

   As a basketball lightly brushes the cold surface of a regulation rim and begins to roll into a pit of vicious claws, a blurred personage soars through the obstacles presented in front of him and throws down the teetering ball with undeniable authority and tenacity. The surrounding crowd of blue and red shakes with elation as this year's possible number one draft pick flashes his chiseled physique and allows his broken smile to glimmer under the lights. He absorbs the atmosphere as he glides over to his bench during the timeout called by his opponent, who quakes in fear and realizes the plan devised to stop this ferocious athlete has just been deemed futile in the opening minutes.
Derrick Williams (SF/PF) #23:
   Derrick Williams, an Arizona Wildcat, surged into national relevance as a sophomore. He averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game during the 2010-2011 season. Also, Williams led the NCAA in True Shooting percentage at 69 percent, as well as Effective Field Goal percentage at 65 percent creating the opportunity to capture a regular season PAC-10 championship. He was announced as the Pac-10 Player of the Year. Williams also strengthened his resigme as a player by leading his team into a deep run of the NCAA men's basketball tournament with dominant victories over the highly regarded Texas Longhorns and the heralded Duke Blue Devils. Williams' combination of power forward strength and shooting ability allowed him to dominate the glass on both sides of the floor with brutal blocks on one end and relentless dunks over helpless defenders on the other.
  Williams (6-9, 250 pounds) can play both forward positions. He's a great athlete and can get his shot off well. The 6'9" forward plays like he's much taller and is as agile and explosive as a solid point guard. Williams averaged about 20 points and nine rebounds per game in the 2010-11 season, while shooting around 60 percent from three. He’s going to obviously have to improve on the defensive end.
Williams is a very good kid as well, very prepared to enter into the NBA. He also has a commendable understanding of himself and the game.
  This special player possesses some key intangibles that will be nearly impossible to observe in the upcoming draft. Most importantly, he's a proven winner. Williams demonstrated this principle by   willing the Wildcats to wins the past two seasons as a leader who shouldered the load offensively and defensively each and every minute he was on the floor.
  It will take Williams a bit of time, but his aptitude for shooting the long ball, the innate quality to score, and his leadership will allow him to become a distinguished player. Williams has the capacity, if he works hard and soaks in the advice from coaches, to be an overpowering and elite small forward in this league.
