Demari “Juice” Williams is a 6’5 shooting guard that plays for Fulshear High School. Last season as a sophomore he averaged 16 points per game, 5 rebounds per game, 3 assists per game, and 2 steals per game. His team went 16-17 last season and made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs. This season they are sitting at 11-15 overall and are in 2nd place in their district. Demari leads the team with 21 points per game, 7 rebounds per game, 4 assists per game, and 2 steals per game this year.
Demari is a big guard that is athletic. He can be utilized as a combo guard because he is a great play initiator. He can guard guards and wing players, has solid lateral movement. He gets to the rim a lot and is hard to keep out of the paint. Has the ability to create his own shot as well as get his teammates involved in the game. He also runs the floor well and plays without the ball in his hands. It will be very interesting to see what he does this Spring/Summer on the Grassroots scene.
What motivates you to play the way that you do? My motivation is simply the “Love” that I have for the game. Also, the desire I have to great at this game that I love. What area of your game do you feel needs the most improvement? I would say communication with my teammates at all times. I do communicate on the court, but I have to be more consistent throughout the game. What is your recruitment looking like, what schools have been in contact with you, and what schools have offered you? I have received offers from Baylor, Louisiana Lafayette, and Buffalo so far. I have been in contact with and contacted this season by Texas Tech, Texas Christian, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Houston, Georgia State, Abilene Christian, UTSA, and BYU. What area of your game do you feel that has improved the most since last year? My ability to score the ball and draw fouls to get to the free-throw line as much as possible. I also feel like I can score whenever I want as well. Thank you for your time and may God bless you with a healthy finish to your junior year.
