Chaz Williams was the engine of UMass basketball
In the 2013-14 season, Chaz Williams was a high-motor, pass-first guard who powered UMass with 15.6 points and 6.9 assists per game, while also piling up steals and setting the tone with relentless tempo and fearless shot-making. He became a fan favorite because he played bigger than his 5-foot-9 frame, attacked the rim without blinking, and brought a real edge to the floor. That combo of speed, creativity, and toughness made him a clear fit for teams needing a lead guard who can organize, pressure defenses, and shift momentum fast.
