Williams is averaging 12.7 ppg, 8.5 rpg, and 3.1 apg as one of their biggest assets off the bench this season as he makes his stake for Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year after losing his starting spot to teammate Zach Edey.

He’s shooting 56.3 percent from the field and does a tremendous job of passing out of the post to his shooters on the floor in spots to score.
