Productive in low-scoring gameWilliams started and had a team-high 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, three assists and three steals over 38 minutes in Monday's loss to Tulsa.
ImpactWilliams made his Memphis debut last week against Tulane but played only 16 minutes off the bench. He ended up more than doubling that as a starter Monday, due largely to freshman Moussa Cisse ending up in early foul trouble. Three starters ultimately ended up with four personals, paving the way for Williams to get plenty of run. Memphis is a deep and talented team, so this type of playing time won't always be guaranteed, but it's already clear Williams has an immediate and impactful role in this offense. He should be rostered in nearly all types of fantasy formats if he isn't already.
