has already built one of the stronger scoring resumes in the 757.
Williams is one of the top guards in the region, regardless of class. He was a major reason Catholic High School had such a successful season. He can score from all three levels and is an elite shot maker, especially from deep.
Defenses have to account for him at all times. He’s comfortable taking big shots and has consistently delivered in pressure moments. Beyond scoring, he competes defensively and brings physicality to the guard position.
Williams has the tools and production of a high-level college player. Expect him to be firmly on the radar of college coaches throughout the summer evaluation period.

has quietly put together one of the most impressive scoring résumés in the 757.
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.

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.
