defense-first UNC guard with a real shooter’s touch
In the 2018 season, Kenny Williams was a high-motor North Carolina guard who paired 11.4 points per game with 40.2% shooting from three, while also bringing 1.0 steals a night and solid secondary playmaking[1][4]. He was prized for his perimeter defense, toughness, and willingness to do the dirty work, and he had already battled back from a knee injury earlier in his UNC career, which adds to the “warrior” label around him[2][12]. If a team wants a reliable two-way guard who can space the floor and compete on every possession, he fits nicely[2][7].
