finished with high-arcing layups around shot blockers, showing poise and touch against pressure and traffic. As a point guard, he exudes pure paint-touch potential for the next level, capable of adding another layer to an offense built around pace and shooters. He changed directions at top speed, shifting through the defense like they were cones and consistently forcing defenders into recovery mode.

Demonstrated very strong athleticism attacking off the bounce. Used ball fakes well and got downhill driving baseline or attacking from the top when defenders played too tight. Showed strong ball-handling skills maneuvering through traffic while keeping his head up looking for the next pass. Created numerous assists off dribble-drive action and consistently generated paint touches that put pressure on the defense.

is a downhill guard that stays in attack mode from start to finish. He constantly pressures defenses by getting into the paint, but also showed the ability to score from the perimeter when defenders sagged off. Williams competes with confidence, plays through contact, and doesn’t back down from any smoke, bringing a tough and aggressive mentality every time he steps on the floor.

His quick first step and control of the ball allows him to score from all three levels against physical defense and convert in crunch time situations. Williams is a physical defender, and his frame allows him to bully opposing players into tough situations and transition opportunities. His ability to play the combo guard opens up chances for him to either be a dual threat scorer or playmaker. If the defense left him open on any jumpshot, he made them pay and converted the easy look at the basket from range. Williams shows good hustle play in the clutch and can be counted on to get his team second chance opportunities.

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.
