Skills Challenge: Lou Williams

What’s All-Star Weekend in New Orleans without a little Sweet Lou? Lou Williams is once again showing why he won Sixth Man of the Year in 2015, leading the league in bench scoring with 17.8 points per game.

His stroke from behind the arc isn’t quite ready for the 3-point contest and he’s not the high flying act players like Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine are. So where does he fit? The Skills Challenge of course.

Williams isn’t fantastic at anything–except drawing fouls–but he is perfectly adequate at just about everything. What better way to showcase that than participating in the Skills Challenge.

Last year, Jordan Clarkson took a crack at the Skills Challenge, but couldn’t get it done. Maybe the Purple and Gold just sent the wrong guy. There’s only one way to find out.
