Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Brandon Williams was born in November of 1999 in Los Angeles. From 2014 to 2018, he attended Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, California. Williams missed his junior high school basketball season due to knee surgery. But as a senior, after averaging 24.7 points and 2.4 steals per game, the guard was named the Los Angeles Daily News 2017-18 Player of the Year. He then committed to the University of Arizona. As a freshman Wildcat, Williams started 21 of 26 games and averaged 11.4 points, 3.4 assists and 1.4 made three-pointers over 28.2 minutes per game. Then off-season knee surgery once again cost Williams a year of basketball as he missed his sophomore year with Arizona. Williams left the university in 2020 to focus on his health and prepare for professional basketball. After going undrafted in the 2021 NBA Draft, Williams joined the Westchester Knicks of the NBA G League. In late December of 2021, he signed a 10-day contract with the Portland Trail Blazers. After a second-stint with Westchester, Williams signed a two-way contract with Portland on February 22, 2022.

Not listed on injury report

October 14, 2024
Williams (calf) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's preseason game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Williams appears set to make his preseason debut after he was left off the injury report. He's missed his team's first two exhibitions while dealing with a calf strain and will likely see action in the next two preseason games, though he doesn't appear to be in line to make the regular-season roster.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Williams split 2021-22 between the NBA and the G League, where he lit it up with the Westchester Knicks to the tune of 22.6 points, 6.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds over 33.1 minutes per game early in the campaign. His effort earned him a 10-day look with Portland in late December and a two-way deal in late February. Williams took advantage of his opportunity with a banged-up Trail Blazers squad down the stretch, averaging 13.6 points, 4.2 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 28.5 minutes per contest after the All-Star break. However, he's unlikely to repeat that output this season with Portland healthier to open 2022-23, and the second-year guard may bounce between the NBA and the G League again this year. As a result, he is likely only an attractive fantasy option in the deepest of formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Summer League graduate
GFree Agent
July 20, 2023
Williams averaged 17.3 points, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 52.2 percent from the field across four Summer League starts for Minnesota. He missed Minnesota's final contest with a bruised knee.
ANALYSIS
Williams knocked down only five of 16 three-point attempts -- which has been the Achilles heel of his NBA career thus far. Other than that, he's been a very serviceable backup point guard at the NBA level for Portland and would be a quality floor general at most levels. The 6-foot-2 guard will likely have a multitude of choices for his next opportunity.
