Overview
- Williams has delivered his sharpest run of the season, averaging 17.2 points and 2.8 steals over a recent five-game span on 52.8% shooting and 50% from three.
- Nets coach Jordi Fernández praised his professionalism and has run more plays for him to test pick-and-roll reads and second-side actions.
- The forward’s value still starts on defense, where he guards top scorers, disrupts passing lanes, and ranked eighth in steals per 36 minutes and per 100 possessions entering the Kings game.
- Despite his surge, his fourth-quarter time has been scarce and he did not play in the win over Sacramento by coach’s decision.
- Brooklyn has not said whether it will exercise next season’s team option, a choice that will weigh his steady habits and a career-best .588 true shooting within the team’s rebuild.
