Benny Williams

Updated on 6/25/25.  Written by Alan Lu.

Height: 6-9
Weight: 208
College: Central Florida
Classification: Senior
Birthdate: 4/30/2002

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:

Decent scorer off the dribble
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Decent playmaker
Decent defender
Very good athlete

Cons:

Needs to improve his shooting
Can be reluctant to take outside shots
Can struggle to score in traffic
Not an elite ball handler
Needs to improve his rebounding
Needs to add strength
Can be too inconsistent in games

Summary:

Benny Williams is a very athletic, high-motor forward whose versatility may make him an intriguing prospect for the NBA.  He is a high-flyer that can finish plays above the rim, and he is a ball handler that can rack up assists.  He is a capable on-ball defender that has the potential to be able to guard a variety of positions. 

On the downside, he had a disappointing collegiate career, with the exception of having one decent sophomore season. He will need to regain his shooting touch and be the athletic, sharpshooting, 3 and D player that he was in high school to be able to adjust to pro ball. He will need to enhance ball handling skills, but if he can continue to improve and hone his game, he could end up carving out a solid playing career in professional basketball.
