AJ Williams Ascent To Basketball Stardom Continues

The accolades continue for the No. 2 player in the nation AJ Williams.
Just a few weeks ago, Williams was named to ESPNs 2028 top 25 rankings by basketball analyst Paul Biancardi.
Since being ranked, he has picked up several notable camp invites to high-stakes camps that have some of the best basketball players from all over the country participating. Williams was invited to the FIBA Americas Training Camp in Colorado Springs, Colorado on May 22nd-24th and the U16 FIBA Americup Championship on June 2nd-8th (Argentina). He was also invited to the Nike Elite 100 camp.
Williams is currently running with the flagship program, the Georgia Stars, on the AAU circuit and continues to establish himself as a noteworthy player. He already has several notable performances, including scoring 30 points in an On The Radar Hoops circuit. He was also named a standout in the Nike EYBL (Elite Youth Basketball League) Session 1 tournament in Indianapolis.
When you watch his game, you see a 67 athletic wing that can score from anywhere on the floor. He can create space with elite ball handling and also knock down tough contested shots. Just when you least expect it, he will come into the lane and throw it down on you. His athleticism is off the charts, but he is not reliant on it and makes you pay in other ways, showcasing his versatile skillset.
So many young players fall victim to only being offensive stars, but that is not the case with Williams. He is a great on-ball defender and a pest who jarres the ball loose, leading to easy scoring opportunities on the other end. He prides his game on the defensive end to Kawhi Leonard and on the offensive end to Jayson Tatum, he said in an interview with Pro Insight. To be so young, he already has a deep bag that is only growing every day.
This past season on the hardwood for Dutchtown, he was named Region 3-5A Co-Player of the Year. He didnt waste any time letting people know how good he was, averaging 18.4 PPG and 12.5 rebounds early on to start his prep career. He has continued to churn out memorable performances on the court and is cementing himself as the next elite prospect.
