Burn, baby, burn. Williams received plenty of burn in 2023-24. Going from 7.0 minutes per game as a rookie to 27.6 in his second season, the fiery wing worked his way into the starting five for the Grizzlies. Torching nets in January, he averaged 14.8 points on 50.9 percent shooting while tacking on 6.5 boards and 3.3 dimes.
Subscribing to an off-season program of weights and aerobics (in which he was joined by Wayne Gretzky), Shag added 25 pound of brawn to his already legendary strength. That's daunting news for opposing centers who watched him throw down a league leading 333 dunks last year.
In the NBA, Clowney not only had to adjust to talented defenders, but the shot clock as well. "You gotta get a good shot up within 24 seconds. And nobody wants to play the whole 24 seconds," he said. "Most teams try to get it up first, if you can get it up in the first six to eight, you wanna get a good shot up then."
