Expert Analysis
Victor Scott | Prep Hoops Scout
Willard plays with a maturity and basketball IQ that immediately stand out. He reads defenders well and picks his spots like a seasoned scorer. His ability to operate at all three levels with smooth pull‑ups, confident catch‑and‑shoot threes, and crafty finishes around the rim makes him one of the more complete offensive threats in the class. Willard rarely forces the issue. Instead, he manipulates defenders, makes the right decision, and consistently finds efficient scoring windows. That blend of intelligence and skill gives him a translatable profile fit for the next level.

Willard isn’t currently ranked, which makes him a sleeper, especially when you consider his size and offensive tools. His low-profile program and lack of club affiliation have kept him off scouting radars.
Smooth shooter with length and bounce, looking to lead the Yellowjackets this season. Has the frame and feel to be a multi-position wing threat as he continues to grow.
