Expert Analysis
Tom Keller | Prep Hoops Scout
Williams impacts the game in a variety of ways. He gets into passing lanes on defense to come up with steals and shows good timing as a shot blocker. In transition, he is very effective filling the lane as a trailer and displays soft touch around the basket. He is a crafty finisher inside, sets solid off-ball screens, boxes out well, and can push the ball up the floor after securing rebounds. Williams is also a threat to knock down shots from beyond the arc. I like the versatility he brings and the overall impact he leaves on the outcome of the game.

Among the bigger surprised on the day, Williams caught the eye at first with a strikingly long and fluid frame, but upon watching more showed that he had quite a bit of game to match. A midseason transfer last year from nearby Bonner-Prendie, Williams will suit up for Ridley for the first time this winter and looks to bring an immediate spark of athleticism and scoring punch to the Raider lineup. On Saturday, the rangy wing guard showed off a smooth skillset to create his own shot in isolation situations, with clean mechanics on his jumper and a nose for the rim in transition. His length and quickness also shined in spurts on the defensive end. Now squarely on the radar moving forward, we’ll look to see how Williams fits his game into more structure this winter but the upside for the scholarship-level in the long run is evident.
