Williams an Efficient Star

Excerpt from the SI.com:

[Arizona forward Derrick] Williams has increased his averages to 19.2 points and 8.0 boards, but those numbers only tell half the story. According to kenpom.com, Williams leads the nation in offensive rating and effective field-goal percentage, while ranking third in free-throw rate. The Wildcats' depth allows Williams to play only 28.8 minutes per game, but he ranks second behind BYU's Jimmer Fredette in points + assists + rebounds per 40 minutes, with 39.1.

In short, he's efficient.

"Just think about it," Williams said. "If you're shooting 20 times a game, of course you're going to score at least 20 points. But I want to get to the free-throw line, not take bad shots, just be the most efficient player I can be. I only need to shoot open shots."
