A little more than halfway through his first season of college basketball, Brandon Williams’ numbers aren’t nearly as good as those of some of the Arizona Wildcats’ recent freshmen starters. They could be by the end of the year, though, if Williams continues on the path he’s been on the last five games.
At 11.9 points per game, Williams’ scoring average is seventh-most among Arizona freshmen during Sean Miller’s 10-year tenure. His shooting percentage, currently at 38.3, isn’t in the top 20 of Miller-coached freshmen.
But while the 6-foot-2 guard’s overall numbers don’t match up with his first-year Wildcat predecessors, his recent play indicates Williams has turned a corner with his offensive game.
