He will stay with the Wolves during the 2013-14 season followed by a team option in 2014-15 and a qualifying offer in 2015-16. If Williams looks to stay with the Wolves past next season, he needs to work on his scoring and his passing. The list goes on but these are two of his most important areas to work on if Williams looks to become an impressive player in the future.","date":"Fri May 10"},"fullName":"Derrick Williams","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Though Williams did not progress as quickly as the Timberwolves hoped when they selected him with the No. 2 pick in the 2011 NBA draft, he showed plenty of promise as a rookie, particularly in the second half of the season. After struggling to earn quality minutes to start the year, Williams turned it on after the All-Star break, averaging 10.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.8 3-pointers in just 24.7 minutes per game. He still has some development to do, but his per-minute numbers in the second half are promising. Unfortunately for Williams, Minnesota signed Andrei Kirilenko in the offseason, which clouds his outlook at least at the start of the season. Kirilenko will likely begin the year as the starting small forward, but Williams will make his presence known with plenty of minutes off the bench. The upside is there, but Williams' star potential might hang on the health of his teammates.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":3.9,"playerRater15DAY":4.7,"positionRank":39}
