The piece says Williams has provided steadiness even though the starting backcourt has not yet met expectations, and notes he is stepping up while depth guard Jerone Morton deals with an injury. The author credits coach Mark Pope's talk of Williams being college-ready and suggests the freshman's play has drawn national media attention, while acknowledging that exhibition games do not count.
