Ohio State’s Shot-Blocking Anchor with Sneaky Efficient Touch
In the 2014-15 season, Amir Williams gave Ohio State a real rim-protecting presence: 33 games, 29 starts, 19.5 minutes, 6.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game, while shooting a crisp 66.1% from the field[1][4][6]. His calling card was size and timing—he ranks fifth in Ohio State history with 187 career blocks[1]—and his interior finishing made him a clean fit for teams needing defense-first center play. The knock: limited perimeter game and modest playmaking, so he fits best as a tough, paint-only big who changes shots and finishes efficiently[4][6].
