The best way I can describe Williams is the dude is a VIOLENT player on the court. He doesnt just dunk it, he slams it down so you feel it for minutes.
Williams brings the intensity LSU lacks right now (except for Rachal). KBW is a Tyrus Thomas type of player. He's not there to run offense through. He's there to block shots, dominate the glass and dunk everything.
I like the Mickey comparison for E. Williams, but I don't think he has the timing of Mickey. Yes he was long, but Mickey had incredible timing that just can't be taught.

And they touched on that in the article:

“HIGH MOTOR BEAST”
What I like most about Williams is his demeanor. He’s straight up nasty, willing to go nose to nose with anyone. He’s ferocious on both ends of the floor. He wants to dunk everything on offense, block everything on defense, and grab every rebound.
He feasts on second-chance points and is a great complement to Reid, whose only knock by scouts has been a relative lack of motor. Williams more than offsets it. He isn’t just willing to do the dirty work. He thrives on it.
One person I talked to who’s scouted Williams as much as anyone in the country called him “a high motor beast.” He will be an enforcer from day one, a real tone-setter. LSU fans will love him for his grit and energy. He’ll bring the best out of Reid and can play alongside him or spell him, and he’ll be a prime target for Tremont Waters transition alley oops.
It all just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside...

Yeah they said as much that he wont block as many shots like Mickey did, but the size and motor comparison is as close as it gets.

He’s a lot more physical than Mickey and I can’t stress that enough. You’re right Mickey had great timing and probly jumps higher, Williams has more foot speed and explosion. Think of a Vernell Singleton/Jamie Lloreda hybrid.
