Evaluator: Jonathan Hemingway
Location: Nike EYBL Session IV (Atlanta, Ga.)
Williams is a strong-bodied guard who can slash or hit pull-ups versus tough defense. His physical strength and scoring touch make him an impact player at the next level. He has unique body control that allows him to score around players in the lane. His 3-point % (7-27, 26%) will be an area where he will need to grow at the next level. He is the son of former Illinois guard, Frank Williams, who went on to play in the NBA for some years.

Location: Nike EYBL Session IV (Atlanta, Ga.)
Williams is a good athlete who showed the versatility to take it to the mid post and score. His EYBL averages of 9 points, 4 rebounds don’t reflect how skilled he appeared in this setting versus King James.
