Williams’ McDonald’s All-American nomination is rooted in defensive intensity and athletic presence at the guard position. He consistently sets the tone on the perimeter with tenacious on-ball defense, applying pressure, disrupting rhythm, and forcing opponents into uncomfortable possessions. His athleticism allows him to recover, contest, and stay engaged through multiple actions, making him a difficult matchup for primary ball handlers. That ability to consistently impact games defensively—especially against high-level competition—is what separates him and justifies national recognition.

Evaluation Summary:
✅ Tenacious point-of-attack defense
✅ Athletic perimeter impact
✅ Defensive competitiveness that translates
