He also managed to find the cutter, and he also used a ball fake to kick a ball out to a shooter another time. Williams threw good passes, and he is an unselfish player that will make the extra pass to set up scores for his teammates. He displayed adequate playmaking skills in this game. He was able to dribble in to score on a tough put back around the basket, and Williams also drove in to score on a two-handed dunk on the break. Williams also generally excelled at scoring hustle plays. On one such play where he was called for a traveling violation on a pivot move mid-drive, it took a score off the board, as he would have scored on a drive to the hoop if that call had not been made. However, he was unable to make pull-up jumpers from the mid-range, and Williams had trouble scoring off the dribble, as he couldn’t find his shooting touch in that range, and he kept being whistled for traveling calls, which took him out of his rhythm.

He was at his best when he made spot-up threes off the catch, and he has shown a smooth jump shot, as he excelled at making outside shots to provide floor spacing for his team on offense. Ziaire Williams did a decent job of knocking down jumpers in this game.

Here are my thoughts on how Williams, Caleb Love, Garrison Brooks, and other various prospects fared on this day. This game overall was a terribly officiated game as the officials seemed to do everything in their power to make calls in favor of North Carolina, and North Carolina ended up coming back from behind to win this game against Stanford. Williams didn’t play nearly as well as he did against Alabama, as he was primarily stifled by bad officiating, but he played solid defense, still was able to knock down some jumpers, and he was aggressive in trying to make plays on both ends of the floor. He got off to a slow start, as he wasn’t involved much on offense early on, and referees also slowed him down by calling him for a slew of traveling calls and fouls, including calling him for a technical foul on a dunk in transition in which he hung on the rim a bit for balance. I took the time to watch Stanford’s freshman forward, Ziaire Williams play in another basketball game at the Maui Invitational, this time against North Carolina that took place this afternoon today.
