There were very few guys from the 2022 NBA Draft as good as Mark Williams was defensively last season for the Charlotte Hornets. The 15th overall pick was one of the best Charlotte Hornets draft picks in a long time, and despite the Hornets struggling to compete, with LaMelo Ball dealing with injuries throughout the season, it was hard to ignore the bright spots that they have in Mark Williams.
Mark Williams is already a defensive monster. His counting stats aren’t mind blowing, but that doesn’t mean the signs aren’t abundantly clear that he’s not far from being one of the best defenders in the entire NBA. The Charlotte Hornets defense improved greatly once he was made a full time rotational player for them. The former Duke University big man is poised for a big second year with the Hornets.
His time at Duke was enough to get him close to the lottery in the 2022 draft, but Mark now looks like one of the biggest steals thus far, looking more and more like an elite defender.

Where does Mark Williams go in a redraft? π
Bro the Hornets are looking up, they have some promising players, Miles Bridges is coming back, and they just got a top 3 pick in Brandon Miller. Mark Williams should get more minutes now that Plum Dog is gone, this is probably gonna be his breakout season.
defensively hes got taller bam written all over him
So basically your saying he needs to leave the hornets cause they will not use him affectedly
As a hornet fan, I am so happy we got him and started to play him more games during the second half of the season.
Is he better defensively than duren
w vid man new subπ―π―
Too bad he canβt go left
Today was a good day man. Last day of the week, and everyoneβs dropping bangers. Props to you bro ππ

What time was not an unfortunate time to be a Hornets fan? Their 2K all time team is worse than a lot of modern teams.
He is what Warriors fan hoped James Wiseman would be
Yes! Mark Williams rocks!
the few times i watched the hornets this guy was just electric, i was always paying attention to him, special defensive talent
Very nice as always. Thanks!
7:37 He stops time for Time Lord π
PG Ball
SF Miller
C Williams
They only need the 'tweeners
Definitely better than Kai Jones.
But Hornets could have had Duren instead of Mark.
These are my favourite kind of videos on NBA YouTube, especially in the offseason. Living in the UK, mixed with many early mornings, means that I miss out seeing on lots of regular season games. Naturally, the Charlotte Hornets are pretty low on my priority of teams to keep up with, so little 8 minute break down videos highlighting key characteristics of players like Williams supplies me with the stuff I miss out on with casual nba viewing. Before watching this video I couldnβt have told you anything about Williamsβ game but now I have something else to keep an eye out for if I ever see a Hornets game. Great vid as always
When was it ever not a "rough time to be a Hornets fan" π€£
I instantly knew what player you were talking about but forgot his name
I'd love a Peyton Watson video, dude is gonna be special

I like these videos with kind of under the radar guys!!
Heβs like rookie evan mobley rn he has really high potential to be like rudy govert but if he could also defend the perimeter.
Just imagine him and lamelo in the pick and roll
