Can Lou Williams play effectively at point guard?

With Andre Miller likely to be playing for another team next season its time to talk about the possibility of Lou Williams being the new starting point guard. Last year, as the sixth man, he averaged 13 points and 3 assists in 24 minutes while shooting 40% from the floor. The 22 year old guard has now played 4 seasons with the Sixers and has been groomed for this oppurtunity for awhile. He has shown flashes of brilliance at point guard but is probably more comfortable playing shooting guard. The problem is he is only 6'2" so he undersized for shooting guard, but has good size for the point. Here would be some of the positives and negatives of Lou Williams taking over at point for the Sixers.

Positives: Lightning quick and very athletic, Lou is very adept at getting to the basket and is a good finisher around the rim. He has a deadly first step and usually can get to the basket at will. He draws many fouls as well averaging 10 free throws per 48 mins and shooting 79% from the line. In the Sixers up tempo system Williams should thrive in transition with his speed. Lou also has a nice shooting touch but can be very streaky at times. Defensively he uses his speed well in the passing lanes allowing him to pick up some steals.

Negatives: Needs to change his shoot first mentality if he wants to be a full time point. Shoots a low percentage from the floor mainly because of his poor shot selection. His shot also tends to get flat at times. He could really help the team by improving his 3 point shot (29% last year). Like most young guards, needs to cut down on the turnovers. When driving to the basket he will need to do a better job of finding open teammates instead of forcing the issue. Needs to be a better on ball defender and add some bulk to his frame.

It should be interesting to see how Lou Williams adapts to point guard and if he will have a breakout year or struggle. He is very good at getting to the basket, and when his shot is on is really tough to guard. If he can find a more consistent jumper and take a more pass first approach to the game he could be a real good player. Of course if Dalembert and Brand actually made some plays down low that would also help the development of Lou.
