the River Hawks’ do-it-all scoring engine
Akeem Williams was a high-usage, high-impact guard for UMass Lowell, known for being a very strong athlete with unlimited range who could run the one or the two, and he was described by the program as a do-it-all player and one of the top Division II guards in the country during his River Hawks years. In the 2012-13 season, he averaged 19.9 points, 3.3 assists and shot 40.0% from three, and in the 2013-14 season he added 15.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting 80.3% at the line. If you want a guard who can create, score from deep, and bring veteran swagger, he was exactly that—just don’t expect him to be a low-usage role player.
