TCU’s Undersized Engine Turned NBA Glue Guy
Williams isn’t a flashy star, but his TCU pedigree was built on impact: in his senior season he averaged 13.2 points and 9.3 rebounds, and he finished his college career as a second-team All-Big 12 selection and NIT MVP. His differentiators were toughness, rebounding, versatility and a high-intensity motor that translated to pro value as a dependable guard-forward. For a team, he fits best as a culture-setter and connector piece rather than a primary scorer—someone who rebounds, competes and does the dirty work that winning teams need.[1][3][7]
