Kayden is a lengthy, fearless point guard and was one of the best players I saw throughout the day. His talent was easy to notice from the start – he caught my attention during warmups and only impressed more as the games progressed. He’s got a beautiful up and under move in the paint and he’s unbelievably hard to defend for his opponent. His confidence seems endless and he’s a talented ballhandler that can finish at the rim with either hand. He can easily create his own offense if needed, but he also has the patience to slow the game down and identify the best opportunities for his teammates. He has the ability to take it the entire length of the floor himself or if he spots one of his bigs hustling down the court, he’ll reward them with a beautifully placed full-court pass for an easy bucket. Williams is going to garner a ton of attention going forward and it’s well deserved.
