This is old but things like this and the AAU season tell me he can play at a high level. He is closer to 6'5 though.
Providence Dayâs Grant Williams proving himself against top competition | The Charlotte Observer
In the first game of the season, he scored 18 points in a 67-60 loss to Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, which is nationally ranked and has the No. 16 senior recruit in the country in center Thomas Bryant. Bryant had 15 points.
He was going up against Thomas Bryant
he went head-to-head against him and probably outplayed him, said Rick Lewis, who runs Phenom Hoop Report and saw the game Nov. 14 at the Phenom Hoops Showcase. He competes, he has fun and hes just fun to watch. And you just dont see that very often.
Williams scored 23 points in a 60-58 loss to High Point Wesleyan Christian, another nationally ranked team, and forward Harry Giles, the No. 3 junior in the country. Giles had 21.
Williams, who is young for his grade, will turn 16 Sunday. He relishes the opportunity to play against top competition.
My favorite type of game is playing against somebody that Ill
go back and forth with, he said. I would love to play against a guy like Harry or Thomas every night, but you know thats not possible. So its exciting when you get to play guys like that every once in a while.
While hes happy with how he played, Williams is not happy about the way the games ended. Providence Day had the lead in the final minutes of both games before losing.
It still doesnt matter about my stats because we lost, Williams said. If I had a 40-point game and won, then I would be happy, but even if that type of game comes while losing, its still a loss.
