Amari Williams brings Kentucky a jumbo playmaking center with real two-way feel
In the 2024-25 season at Kentucky, Amari Williams averaged 10.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 blocks while starting all 36 games, giving the Wildcats a rare center who can protect the rim, pass from the post and keep the offense moving[9][3]. His calling card is versatility for a 7-footer: efficient finishing, active boards, high-end feel, and enough playmaking to punish doubles[9][12]. The main question is perimeter polish, not effort—he’s known for toughness and impact more than flash, which makes him a strong fit for teams that value structure, defense and connective tissue[12][15].
