However, Joe's role as the Thunder's spot-up 3-point shooter off the bench, is something that truly impresses Williams, as he revealed, following Sunday's 123-115 win against the Portland Blazers. “Honestly, I think that's like not even the most underrated part of that whole thing. I think it's more like, coming into the game, not knowing when you're going to come in, you have no prior shots, and your first three is: I gotta run, get my feet, and shoot a corner-3 with like four seconds left — and be expected to make it — is a very elite skill,” Williams said. “And it's not a skill that a lot of NBA players have. So, for him to be on our team and have that, is very special. “And honestly, we probably take it for granted because when he misses, it's kind of weird. And you kind of have to catch yourself. I think me not playing was something that I really started to understand — his job is extremely hard. To come in and be expected to make shots right away. But that's why he gets paid and he does it at a very high clip.”
