What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“Continuing onto a player that stood out as one of the most reliable and productive performers on this team, Bradley Williams. He’s a smart, crafty, tough two-way guard with a high motor and the ability to score with efficiency from all three levels. Williams knows how to mix it up while also getting others involved on a regular basis. He creates well off the bounce but can also spot-up with ease, which allows him to effectively operate from either backcourt position. Williams is a quality defender with great positioning and quickness, which allows him to force turnovers at a solid rate. Next in his development process is working on his rebounding presence, as it would allow him to push transition play even easier. Coach Paul on Williams: “Brad is a great scorer that can score at all three levels. He’s a decent on-ball defender but needs to become a better help defender. He has a good sense for the game.” Williams enjoyed an excellent showing at camp and could be a nice late addition for the right program. “ – SC Phenom 150 evaluation in 2019
“Williams seems to fit that mold, given his role on Millbrook and ability to expand his production at our camps. His raw numbers aren’t necessarily going to jump off the page, but Williams is a team-first guy that showed a willingness to make his presence felt however possible. He attacks the basket, finishes pretty well, and understands how to set up others around the paint.” – Jeff Bendel in 2020
