Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Amari Williams is center from Nottingham, England, who played the 2024-25 season with the Kentucky Wildcats after transferring from Drexel University. During his graduate season at Kentucky, Williams averaged 10.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game, shooting 56.1 percent from the field. He started all 36 games, leading the team in rebounds and field goal percentage, and tied for the team lead in assists with 115, the most ever by a seven-footer at Kentucky. Williams achieved a rare statistical milestone, becoming only the second player in SEC history to record at least 375 points, 300 rebounds, 100 assists, 40 blocks, and 20 steals in a single season. He also posted 10 double-doubles, including eight in SEC play, and notched a season-high 22 points against Arkansas and 15 rebounds against Tennessee. Prior to his time at Kentucky, Williams was a standout at Drexel, where he was a three-time Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Defensive Player of the Year and a two-time First-Team All-CAA selection. Williams is a physically imposing big man with a 7'5" wingspan, known for his defensive prowess and basketball IQ. He excels as a rim protector and rebounder, using his length to alter shots and secure boards. His defensive versatility enables him to guard multiple positions effectively. Offensively, Williams is a capable playmaker from the high post, demonstrating strong passing instincts and vision. He serves as an effective facilitator, often initiating offense and finding open teammates. While not a primary scoring option, he is efficient around the rim and can finish plays as a lob threat. Williams' leadership and unselfish play have been lauded by coaches and teammates. Williams projects as a reliable rotational big man at the NBA level, capable of contributing as a defensive anchor and facilitator. His combination of size, defensive acumen and passing ability makes him an ideal fit for teams seeking a versatile center who can impact the game on both ends of the floor. A realistic NBA comparison for Williams is Jakob Poeltl of the Toronto Raptors - a tough and skilled center who contributes with defense, passing and efficient scoring around the basket. Currently, Williams is projected as a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Picked by Boston

CBoston Celtics

June 26, 2025

Williams was selected by the Celtics with the No. 46 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

ANALYSIS
After a four-year run at Drexel to begin his collegiate career, Williams delivered a solid two-way performance in his lone season at Kentucky in 2024-25, posting averages of 10.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in 22.8 minutes per game while shooting 56.1 percent from the field in 36 contests. While he brings good size at 6-foot-11 with a 7-foot-6 wingspan, Williams' lack of foot speed and lateral quickness could hinder him at the NBA level. With the Celtics trading away Kristaps Porzingis and both Luke Kornet and Al Horford uncertain to be retained in free agency, Williams provides much-needed frontcourt depth for the Celtics. However, the Celtics aren't likely to count on him to be a regular contributor at the NBA level as a rookie, as Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com relays that the British-born center will ink a two-way deal and is expected to see most of his playing time in the G League.
