Williams is coming off a breakout year for the Broncos, averaging 18.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. Only Gonzaga All-American Drew Timme averaged more points per game in the WCC.

He also remained efficient as a go-to option for Santa Clara, shooting 51.3 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from three-point range.

The 6'5" guard especially turned heads at the NBA scouting combine, measuring a 7'2" wingspan with a 33.5-inch standing vertical that tied for second among all prospects in the class.

With his proven production and physical tools, Williams' game should translate well to the next level as he tries to make an early impact for the Thunder.
