Ed Generali, coach of rival Holy Cross High, which has beaten Torrington twice this season, said Williams "has great hands, a very soft touch and is playing on a team that is not as strong as it has been. We put two or three guys on Jordan."
Said Generali: "I see him needing to get stronger physically. Once Gary Williams gets ahold of him, he'll be spending a lot of time in the weight room."
Leron Williams agreed, saying his son "is able to finish and rebound in traffic, but right now he has a high school body."
At a fraction short of 6-10 and 245 pounds, Jordan Williams dwarfs many of the players guarding him in high school. "Probably some are 6-2 or 6-3," he said. "The biggest guy was 6-7. It's nowhere near the ACC. I want to lose some weight and gain some muscle."
His father said Jordan is coachable and understands he is facing a big adjustment playing in the ACC.
"I told him, 'You need to find your niche.' Everybody has a role. He may score, you never know. He may just be a rebounder. He may be a hustle guy. You never know," the father said.
