There is a lot to like about Williams’ game. He is a sneaky athlete with good size at the point. One reason why Williams will be successful is that he plays both ends of the floor.

#28 | Jacory Wilkes Jacory Wilkes 6'6" | C Thomas Stone | 2022 State MD | Thomas Stone
“Powerhouse” is the first word that comes to mind when watching Wilkes. He’s a tremendous screener and finisher who is also one of the most feared rim protectors in this region.
#32 | Adam Angwafo Adam Angwafo 6'7" | C Bullis | 2022 State MD | Bullis
Angwafo possesses unique physical tools for his size. He’s still got a ways to go, but it’s clear that he has considerable upside.
