True, he is not highly ranked, but ultimately Diebler was not really selling a starting role at this point, which makes it tough to get top talent unless you overpay. Especially nowadays with the portal, if you're not giving a guy an obvious route to major PT, they're going to think it's going to hurt their future NIL earnings if they accept a smaller role & won't want to come. Also, you've got to take those portal rankings with a grain of salt - they all told you that Aaron Bradshaw was a lot better addition than Micah Parrish.
Jimmie Williams is a really good fit - seemingly not a guy with genuine NBA prospects, but nevertheless it's very easy to see him fitting in well with the team & system. He has some versatility, experience & a well-rounded skillset. IMO, the key here is fit - I believe the staff is prioritizing finding guys who are the best overall fit. This is the kind of addition you look at and say, they could have gotten a guy with more NBA-level talent if they really wanted but didn't. Let's see if the system-/team-first approach pays off.
