"In the Western Conference, the Sacramento Kings are another team that has registered interest in Williams, sources said. The 6'9″ center would provide immediate…Trading for Rob Williams is a high-risk, high-reward move that would obviously pay huge dividends if it works out. Williams could slot into the backup five spot and provide a defensive skill that no one on the Kings can currently have; blocking shots and protecting the rim.
The Kings coaching staff preaches verticality, and Domantas Sabonis and Alex Len do a great job defending the rim in that way. However, there is a limit to that defensive skill set that adding someone like Williams would offset. Sacramento finished 28th in the league last year with 4.2 blocks per game. Blocking shots isn’t the end all be all of defense, as there are other ways to protect the rim, such as taking charges. But the Kings only took 34 total charges last season, tied for 11th most in the league. It helps to be good in at least one of the two.While being an obvious fit on the defensive end, Williams would also slot in nicely on the offensive side of the ball.
