NBA scouts express concern over San Diego phenom’s long-range game
Shooting Guard Not On Point?
Part of what makes a player great is knowing when to pull the trigger.
San Ysidro basketball standout Mikey Williams has been a top prospect since his freshman year of high school. He already has an endorsement contract worth millions with Puma, millions of followers on Instagram, and a scholarship to play for the University of Memphis. But all that could be in jeopardy following a March incident at Williams’ home when he allegedly fired a gun at a departing vehicle. If convicted of all six felony charges against him, he could face up to 30 years in prison. But we all know that’s not happening. The real problem, says NBA Scout Nate Spottesgoode, is that he missed. Explains Spottesgoode, “We’ve got witness testimony that he told a guest in his home, ‘You need to leave now if you don’t want a bullet through your car and through your head,’ and that he then fetched a gun with a freaking laser sight. Six people piled into a Tesla, and then someone, allegedly Williams, took a bunch of shots at the car as it fled. And you’re telling me not one of those passengers took a bullet? I get that Williams may have been upset, and that a moving Tesla is not the same as a stationary hoop. But part of making it in the NBA is being able to perform under pressure. The man said, ‘Through your head,’ and had the help of a laser sight, and yet, no bullets went through any heads. Take the shot, make the shot, you know? All I’m saying is, we’re concerned. Oh, and he probably shouldn’t have tried to shoot anybody, either. Or whatever.”
