Two double-doubles in last three Williams closed with 12 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 66-62 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact After losing his starting role for a four-game stretch, Williams reentered the starting lineup three games ago upon the loss of Bryce Thompson, who's out for the season with a torn labrum. Williams responded Saturday with his second double-double in three games since reclaiming his starting spot while adding a defensive presence with a couple of steals and a blocked shot. Williams has started 20 games this year for the Cowboys, playing 30.9 minutes per start while averaging 7.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals.

Back in starting five Williams will get the start Saturday against Kansas State.

Impact Williams will draw back into OSU's starting lineup after Bryce Thompson (shoulder) underwent surgery Thursday. With Thompson potentially out for the season, the sophomore Williams could be in line for an extended stay in the starting lineup. He's averaging 6.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and two assists in 27.2 minutes this season.

Compiles double double Williams finished Tuesday's 70-68 loss to Southern Illinois with 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes.

Impact The 10 points represented the first double-digit output for Williams this season while he also contributed his third game with 10 or more rebounds. The starting forward is seeing nearly 30 minutes of action per night while averaging 6.5 points, 6.1 boards and 2.4 assists per contest. While not a prolific scorer, Williams sees enough minutes per night to where a small uptick in his stat line once conference season begins would not be a surprise.

May play some PF this season Williams is working on playing "small ball" power forward this season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Head coach Mike Boynton is working on using Williams as a small-ball power forward during this upcoming season, giving him a chance to play more minutes in a different role. Last season he played 13 minutes per game as a true freshman, averaging 3.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.

Plays nine minutes Williams (personal) ended with zero points (0-2 FG) and two rebounds across nine minutes during Wednesday's 57-49 victory over Oklahoma.

Impact Fortunately for Williams, he was able to be available again before Oklahoma State played its first game of the 2023 Big 12 Tournament. While the Cowboys remain alive, he is expected to be one of their backups, as his minute average across the 2022-23 season (currently 11.9) indicates.

Six boards in big win Williams totaled five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one block in 18 minutes during Saturday's 82-60 win over Ole Miss.

Impact Williams logged his most extensive playing time since the Nov. 27 game against Prairie View A&M. The 6-foot-4 freshman saw very limited usage from December to mid-January, though he's now averaged 14.6 minutes across the last five games. Williams is still posting just 3.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game during this span, so he won't be worth fantasy consideration unless he moves up into the starting rotation at some point this season.
