Williams is a strong, skilled guard who can impact the offense with or without the ball in his hands. He is a capable scorer and reliable shot maker with range beyond the arc, while also possessing an impressive command of the basketball. Williams sees the floor well and is an excellent passer who consistently creates opportunities for his teammates. His combination of scoring, playmaking and feel for the game makes him a prospect who is trending up in the 2027 class.

Williams was Bird’s breakout player last year as he came out of nowhere to be one of the top scorers in the Richmond area, and the way he played this weekend I expect nothing less of him this year. He’s a very good shooter from deep with a quick release and he made shots at a good clip from deep, he showed improvement in his ability to work off the bounce and get to spots in the midrange and to the rim, he was excellent in their press and jumped passing lanes for easy buckets, and he showed a lot of confidence as their go to guy and senior leader.

They will be at the Henrico Event Center, and he will be one of the top shooters and scorers at the event. Shamir had a monster showing at the East Coast Live, where he exploded for 36 points in one game. He is a lights-out shooter, great ball-handler, and high-IQ player who always seems to find his spots and score on or off the ball at a very high rate.

He has a tight handle and great instincts around the rim on when to attack close outs or to let it fly from beyond the arc. He will be a player college coaches will want to take a look at this weekend.

Shamir Williams Shamir Williams 6'1" | CG L.C. Bird | 2027 State VA has been a key piece for a very good and well-coached L.C. Bird team this season.

He’s known as a lethal shooter and has consistently made defenses pay from behind the arc. Whether it’s spot-up opportunities or kick-out threes in transition, Shamir has proven he can convert at a high rate.

He may still be considered under the radar in some recruiting circles, but that likely won’t last long. Shooters who can impact winning on strong programs tend to get noticed quickly once travel season begins.

With a productive spring and summer, Shamir’s stock should rise. College coaches looking to add perimeter firepower will absolutely have him on their evaluation list.
