proved to be a master at stringing together moves, navigating the floor, turning his defender, and breaking his man down with advanced ball-handling creativity. His feet are perfectly synchronized with his hands and movements, allowing him to get to any spot on the floor at will. His ankle-breaking handles forced defenses to get out of their full-court pressure schemes and pick him up at halfcourt. Good ball control in open and tight spaces, using his change of pace to decelerate or accelerate depending on the area of the floor, often taking advantage of straight-line drives, defenders dropping back, and opponents attempting to cut off his point of attack in transition. Incredible body control in the air, contorting acrobatically with craftiness. A true paint-touch point guard, showcasing the rare ability to not only finish creatively with either hand but also off balance, off the opposite leg, or off two feet, consistently producing the same results. Each time he penetrated the teeth of the defense, he made timely, calculated decisions as he went up, either smoothly dropping it off or scoring with one of many finishes from his elite layup package, showing playmaking skills while proving to be more than just a scorer.

put on a show, dropping 31 points in a spectacular performance of attacking the basket with confidence, toughness, and efficiency. Williams was absolutely unstoppable as he scored at will, often finishing inside against congested lanes. Highly effective driving to the basket in transition, in isolation situations, and off his first burst in the halfcourt, displaying an explosive first step combined with change-of-gear acceleration, allowing him to consistently get downhill and put defenders in recovery mode. In the open floor, he applied constant rim pressure, attacking with purpose and finishing above or through contact. In one-on-one settings, he created separation with his handle and shiftiness, turning the corner and forcing defenders onto his hip, absorbing contact while maintaining balance, converting tough finishes, and generating and-one opportunities.
