Old-school production, grown-man toughness, and a matchup problem at forward
In the 2022-23 season, DeAndre Williams was a first-team All-AAC forward for Memphis, averaging 17.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 block while starting all 35 games. He mattered because he wasn’t just a scorer — he was a versatile, physical connector who could attack off the dribble, punish smaller defenders, and bring edge every trip. His age, experience, and intensity made him feel like a pro in a college jersey, though his Memphis eligibility ended after that season.
