 === Scout Analysis === === Scout Analysis ===
 +Erik Williams is a big time athlete who is transitioning from the post to the perimeter as a basketball player. He is long and wiry and is an excellent rebounder for his size. He really has a nose for the ball and is very good at scoring at the basket. He plays with a ton of energy and really has a good motor. For Williams to continue to develop, he will need to get better from the perimeter. He's going to have to develop his ball skills and his jump shot. While Williams is a good mid-range shooter, he is inconsistent from three and needs to work on refining his skills. He certainly has the talent, but will need to continue to get in the gym to develop his game.
 +
 +Erik is a skilled combo forward. He will probably end up as big 3 man. Right now he is effective slashing from mid range against other power forwards. He can also shoot from 15 feet. He is a good athlete that can soar in for dunks or tips. He will need to either get stronger to be a 4 or develop his skills in order to be a solid 3 man.

This is the best place for me." On October 15, 2007, Marquette landed its first 2009 recruit, Erik Williams, a 6-foot-7 forward from Katy, Tex., according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
