20p 4r 3a 2s vs St. Paul’s

-Probably my favorite find of the weekend, Williams joins the list of prospects that played well both in Maryland and DMV Live as one of the leaders for a scrappy Catholic group. The high academic prospect showed an ability to knock down shots off the catch from the elbows and beyond the arc, is a scalable wing defender that gives his teams some lineup versatility as a 2-4 that can also handle the rock, and played hard from start to finish. Loved how quickly Williams accelerates in the open floor and is often looking to punch on somebody at the rim or at least get fouled trying to make that happen. Williams sprinted out ahead to collect runout buckets, executed a perfect pro hop between two defenders to float a bucket in off the window, jumped passing lanes from the back line, blitzed ball screens to collect a steal or force a turnover/ dribble pick-up, and was comfortable both on-ball and on the wing in transition. An aggressive prospect that shows a nice IQ to get his own buckets within the flow of the offensive game plan always stands out, and Williams turned down a few scoring opportunities to make the one-more hockey assist pass to lead to a higher percentage look for his group.

Williams appears poised for a breakout summer. An athletic wing with the ability to score at all three levels, he brings a versatile offensive skill set that makes him a difficult matchup. Williams can knock down shots from well beyond the arc, attack defenders off the bounce, and finish effectively at the rim. He plays with a high motor and consistently competes on both ends of the floor, impacting the game beyond just scoring. His feel for the game stands out, as he makes smart decisions, moves well without the basketball, and understands how to play within the flow of the offense.

The junior wing put together a strong season, averaging nearly 20 points per game while shooting 40% from beyond the arc. Williams is an above-average athlete who can score at all three levels and consistently puts pressure on defenses. An All-State selection, he is capable of serving as a secondary ball handler and competes hard on both ends of the floor, adding to his overall value.

A 1,000-point scorer as a junior, Williams led Catholic in scoring all season long and consistently delivered in big moments. He can light it up from deep and is one of the purest shooters in the region. Defenders have to respect his range the moment he crosses half court.

But Williams isn’t just a perimeter threat. He rebounds well for his size, plays through contact, and embraces physical play. There’s an aggressiveness to his game that separates him. He doesn’t shy away from tough matchups or big shots.

Heading into the summer, college coaches will absolutely have him on their radar. Production like his doesn’t go unnoticed for long — especially when it’s paired with competitiveness and toughness.

Bullock’s teammate was equally impressive, finishing with 19 points in the win. Williams has good positional size and glides to the rim with smooth athleticism. He can operate on the perimeter or play some in the post, and his high basketball IQ consistently shows in his decision-making. Williams also brings defensive versatility, with the ability to guard multiple positions effectively.

The junior brings good positional size, shooting range beyond the arc, and a high motor on both ends of the floor. His blend of production, versatility, and competitiveness has him trending toward being one of the top wing prospects in the state’s 2027 class.

Dean got things done for Catholic as part of the busy guard tandem. He kept the pressure on all day at East Coast Live. One of the team’s top scorers through the whole event, putting together baskets from all areas. Liked the way he got his points, making his mark in transition getting out fast. Dean skied through the lane and hauled down a lot of offensive rebounds, turning many of them into points. He was able to mix his defenders up and score with a smooth jumpshot. Shot it well from range and in closer when the defense was tight. Very impressive and complete performance from the rising junior.
