Williams, who is averaging 16.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. So that is a huge contribution if he can have this numbers in the Lakers uniform. It is also reported that Rob consulted with Luka about this trade and he was 100% down with that.
As per the report, Luka wanted a big men, like what he had in the Dallas uniform that he can ally-oop pass in Gafford and Lively. So expect the same plays that will screen for Luka and then that pass for a easy dunk.
The only problem that I see with Mark Williams is he's injury prone. Just for context, in the last 3 seasons that he's in the NBA, he only played around 85 games more or less and that's few considering how many games in total 3 seasons has. Aside from that, he's a great center, and he also got the starting position ahead of Hayes and Kleber and that shows how good he is currently.
He's a double-double machine and he average double-double in 9 of his last 10 games. Aside from him, the Lakers also has an athletic Hayes that can get those passes from Luka since he's a high-flyer as well. The Lakers might've lost a good developing player in Knecht, but they really need a paint defender after that shocking trade.
