Patrick Williams may not be headed to Tokyo at the end of this month, but he will be training like it over the next couple of weeks.

On Tuesday, Spoelstra spoke to reporters about his time in Vegas so far, and he provided Bulls fans with quite the encouraging scouting report on Williams (h/t NBC Sports Chicago’s Rob Schaefer for the quote transcription).
