 Patrick Williams is an elite athlete

The 2021 season will be a pivotal one for the Chicago Bulls’ franchise. The organization has a proud history and they are looking to get back to their winning ways. In the NBA, versatile athletes are always a good addition to the roster. Patrick Williams proved to be just that in his lone season at Florida State.

Bulls fans will be eager to see how that translates to the NBA. If his upbringing and character are any indications, fans in Chicago won’t be disappointed in his effort to be the best player he can be.

The Chicago Bulls are hoping to get back to their winning ways in 2021. They are an organization with a proud history but they’ve fallen on hard times. The spotlight is on Patrick Williams; being selected with the fourth overall pick in the draft tends to do that to a player. Both of Williams’ parents played college basketball, and he spent summers making deliveries for his mom’s flower shop.

A background like that ingrains hard work and persistence into a young player who now has the chance to exceed his parents’ accomplishments in the game of basketball. Bulls fans may not have gotten a household name in this year’s draft but they did get a kid with a track record of hard work and a tremendous upside. That alone should be enough to get them excited.
