Reid, Williams and Days are among the best rebounders coming out of high school, objectively measured out in tournaments/AAU circuit.

Rebounding woes will be a thing of the past.

To expand on all this, Cody Worsham had an EXCELLENT article published after Williams committed to us:

GLASS CLEANER
Though he is just 6-foot-7 as a power forward, he makes up for a relative lack of height with a near 7-foot wingspan, not dissimilar to the measurements former Tiger shotblocker and current Miami Heat forward Jordan Mickey boasted out of high school.

He’s a killer on the glass, grabbing 11.2 rebounds per game and ranking second among all shoe league players (bested only to current Duke star Marvin Bagley in the EYBL) in offensive rebounding percentage (14.4%) and defensive rebounding percentage (25.6% – just behind Reid, who grabbed 25.9% on the Under Armour circuit).

In fact, LSU has, in Days, Reid, and Williams, three of the best eight defensive rebounders from the 17U shoe circuit last spring, and three of the six best who aren’t already in college (Bagley and Missouri’s Jontay Porter reclassified from 2018 to 2017).

While he’s not exactly Mickey as a rim protector, he did rank third in EYBL in block percentage and blocked 1.6 shots per game. (Reid ranked second).

Seriously, start to get excited, these guys are beasts. 2 of the Top 3 shot blockers on AAU circuit and 3 of the Top 6 rebounders.
