Birthdate: 8/13/1998

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:

Fairly good scorer off the dribble
Decent shooter
Handles the ball fairly well
Decent rebounder for his size
Solid athlete

Cons:

Streaky shooter
Needs to improve his playmaking skills
Can struggle to defend quicker players
Not a true point guard, but is undersized to play the two

Summary:

Rudi Williams is an agile, skilled playmaker that can shoot and score the basketball.  He is a sharpshooter that can knock down shots, especially from beyond the arc.  He will need to improve his playmaking skills and defense, and he will need to show NBA teams that he can reliably run the point at higher levels.  He is a long shot to be drafted, but his ability to make shots could enable him to carve out a playing career in professional basketball.
