Would you guys call Louis Williams a bust?

[Apollo Creed]

I mean he is a 6'2 SG so even with going to college for 4 yrs he was still going to be undersized, and just like Steph Curry people pretty much didnt expect them to pan out in the League. But do you guys think Lou is pretty much performing as expected as it relates to his potential? I mean nobody expected him to have a Lebron type impact, but some could make the argument that him being such a potent scorer in HS he could have maybe been like a Steph Curry at maximum.

Make a thread about the 6th man of the year and one night after he go for 40+ on one of the top teams in the league brehs

A bust? He was the 45th overall pick in 2005 (still in the league a decade later) and has a Sixth Man of the Year award on his resume.

In mind was thinking "he just gave someone 44 last night"

True, but i guess consistency is the thing. And as an ATL native i guess my view of Lou differs than you guys, Lou was low key mythical status when it came to HS b ball in metro Ga so while 6 man is honerable we expected dude to be more than that.

I'm going to assume that you're just a casual basketball fan. Him being a potent scorer in high school means absolutely nothing because just about everyone in the league was a potent scorer in high school. Lou was never really highly touted and wasn't drafted high. He developed into a proven scorer and above average player. He's actually overachieved.

Steph Curry is a generational player and shouldn't be used as a litmust test.

I'm from here to sir.

Considering he doesn't have elite size/measurables, he's where I would expect

I guess where I`m going with this is Steph being what he is has surprised me so much that I had to revisit Lou Will.

Young but I'm making millions to work the night shift

No he's not a bust but if you saw him in high school chances are you'll feel like his career has been disappointing

I never claimed to be an Analyst, I`m just having casual sports convo. I felt Lou would have been a start more so being a 9 yr 6th man, even though I do understand the role as a 6th man is one of the most critical in sports as a 6th man is just as good as the guy starting over him.

He was a 45th overall pick and based off of that alone has overachieved...so how could he be a bust....especially after coming off an award winning season and a game he dropped 44
