Lou Williams gets a tremendous amount of respect from NBA players and coaches/managers. I’ve heard several NBA stars call Williams one of the best shooters of all time. Williams is perhaps best known for the sixth-man role that he had throughout his NBA career. He won the Sixth Man of The Year Award after the 2014-15 season and two more times again after the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons respectively. Williams had memorable stints playing for the 76ers and Clippers.
