He has already gained valuable experience in his first two seasons of high school, competing against the top guards in the conference and being put in crucial situations down the stretch of games. Over time, Williams has proven that he is not fazed by big moments and is willing to take and make big shots.
“I’m not afraid,” Williams replied when asked why he tends to take those attempts. “If it’s there, I take it.”
Due to social distancing guidelines, opportunities for Williams to compete in an organized setting against his peers have been difficult to come by. Regardless, he is working daily on his craft to become the best player he can be.
“I’m just trying to get on my floater,” he told Prep Hoop. “Also trying to get my shot right for the season. Ball-handling too. Pretty much everything I can work on until the season starts.”
As his jumper becomes more consistent, Williams will continue to gain recognition as a dangerous shot maker. One thing he’s always been good at is passing. Williams displays exemplary court vision for a lead guard. He is also developed into a vocal presence on the court.
“If you’re talking to your teammates, encouraging them, and making sure you got their back, it helps them on offense and motivates them to lock up on defense,” Williams stated.
To this point, Williams is flying under-the-radar in most recruiting circles. That will likely change by this time next year as the opportunity is there for him to have a breakout junior campaign.
