From espn... Evaluation
January, 2009: Williams uses his incredible strength and girth to establish deep position in the post for scoring. He excels at getting defenders on his hip and pivoting on them for quick scores around the hoop. Once he seals defenders, they have no way of getting around his wide body in the paint. He has solid footwork with his back to the basket and has nice hands. Williams also uses his body to get position for rebounds, especially of the offensive variety. Being a tad undersized, he will have to continue to develop counter moves to keep more athletic defenders off balance, in addition to laying his body on them. Williams plays effectively as a below-the-rim big that uses his body and strength to his advantage effectively.
October, 2008: This undersized forward played very hard (2008 Eddie Griffin Challenge). Derrick is an explosive player who is effective at using his body to create space on the low block. Williams is very quick for his size and possesses a great first step. He demonstrated the ability to step away from the basket and the skills to handle the ball on the perimeter.
Scouts grade: 85

Hoop Group West Virginia Jam Fest: Part 2 Friday, 17 July 2009
Derrick Williams (2010, 6-6 PF) Derrick is just tough to defend around the goal. He is a beast on the boards every time that he steps on the court. Derrick normally displays soft touch around the hoop, but he struggled to convert consistently in this game. For some reason, he decided to try to make some plays on the wing. He's clearly at his best when anchored down in the post. Derrick had a solid outing.

Derrick Williams (2010, 6-6 PF) Derrick had a fine game in his own right, even with his teammate going off. The big bodied forward is quick on the interior and possesses good hands, soft touch and nimble footwork. He had a couple finishes inside. He mixed in a beautiful one handed tip in and also made a long outlet pass on the break. Derrick put together a nice outing.
