Alabama Basketball: Meet the New Guys: Noah Williamson — The Seven-Foot Swiss Army Knife

Alabama got its much-needed all-purpose big man...if he can survive the steep learning curve.

Two Words to describe his game/impact at Bama:

Body control - really, really good for a big

Post up: yeah, if we need that, he can

Set shot - when you are a legit 7 footer that's all you need to do and it's quite good!

Elite passer - if you play outside the circle you will need to be able to do that

Twin towers - imagine having him and Sherril on the floor together at times!

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:

Missing piece - I've thought all along that the one player we've missed in CNO's system is this kind of player, who is a legitimate scoring 5. Sherril is close, but he's not as athletic as Noah. If he makes a quick adjustment to SEC play, he'll likely be the most important addition and piece to a deep postseason run! See UF's two bigs as proof of what it takes if you play the style both us and the Gators play!

Hopefully he will be strong enough and athletic enough. Looks like a more polished shooter version of Grant. Not sure if as athletic.

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but he is a bit out of his league so far. Many reports of him struggling greatly against way better competition. I think Oats needs another big badly.

This is the concern for this years team. It’s almost/or is all players with “potential” but nothing proven. Could be an up and down team that is avg but when they are on they can beat anyone. But if they fully embrace defense that would help alleviate that and help with consistency. But who knows what this team is at this point. We do know buckle up early on either way while they gel. lol
