“Williams says’believe it,’ so I will go.” [잠실:프리톡]

[엑스포츠뉴스 잠실학생, 김현세 기자] Goyang Orion, director Kang Eul-jun, says Devin Williams (27, 206cm) has no problem adjusting to his coworkers, but strategically, it is still a little more disappointing than expected.

Orion signed a contract with Williams in late January to replace the existing foreign player Jeff Widy. Director Kang said that he was a foreign player he had been watching, but when he watched the six games so far, he evaluated it as “a little different from what he saw through the video.” Williams, which manager Kang expects, is a player with “inside destructive power.”

Williams is a native of the NBA G-League and played for the Jiangsu Dragons in China, through Australia and Turkey. Director Kang said he had Williams in mind when he was trying to recruit an authentic center. However, Williams stayed with 15.7 points and 9 rebounds for an average of 19 minutes and 36 seconds in six games. In the match against Changwon LG on the 9th, he scored 30 points and 14 rebounds, but the other five games were evaluated as falling short of the expectations of manager Kang.

Head coach Kang said, “I’m not doing as much as I thought until now. It’s a little different from what I saw in the video. I was hoping for inside destructive power. It still seems to come out less than I thought,” he said.

Manager Kang also said, “If we want to be better than we are now, Williams must show destructive power in the post. Now that the domestic players have better shooting power than Williams, so we have to balance each other, but Williams is confident in shooting. But I am not ready. If it is, it is unfortunate that you will be counterattacked immediately. The part of adapting to and helping with domestic players is doing well,” he said.

He said, “I haven’t talked to Williams in detail yet, but I’m going to believe and go once I ask for’believe it.’ Orion is currently tied for third place with Anyang KGC, and is scheduled for two straight matches on the 7th, starting with the KGC on the 6th. And on the 12th, we will meet Jeonju KCC, the 1st place.
