Williams is currently ranked 10th on ESPN's Top 100 Promising Players in the 2024 NBA Draft, one of the best defensive players in this year's draft, capable of bringing elite-level intensity, 6-8 tall (2.03m) and a 7-1 arm span that is a breeze to defend small guards.

Williams, the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams, averaged 11.9 points, 3 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 24 games for the Buffaloes in his freshman season, and was named to the Pac-12 League's Rookie of the Year team, shooting 55.2 percent from the field, 59 percent from two-point range and 42 percent from three-point range, but less than two shots per game.

Williams was an early No. 1 candidate, making his debut as the top pick in ESPN's inaugural 2024 mock draft released in February 2023, but he failed to show his best due to a series of minor injuries last season.
