Brice Williams speaks NBA Combine, development in Lincoln

Brice Williams is one of the best players who adapt to the Nebraska men's basketball program and spent last week in the NBA Combine in Chicago to impress the NBA scouts.

Williams measured at 6 feet, 5 ¼ inch barefoot and £ 205.8. Its wingspanit size 6-10 ¾-thirds largest among the guards and its standing range was 8-7 ½, fifth largest under the guards.

The NBA design of 2025 will find from June 25th to 26th in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Williams' size, length and skills fits the modern NBA 3-and-D player profile, and Williams focused on showing everyone on the combination that he can be as effective at the defensive end as with the ball in his hands.

“I try to prove that I can defend at a high level and am a competitor,” said Williams, who was interviewed by various media in the combine harvester.

While he was surrounded by some of the best college basketball players in the combine harvester, as well as young international players who want to impress them, Williams said that he had the feeling that he belonged to the pitch.

But there was also a feeling of urgency to stand out and show what he can do. Williams said he wanted to show the NBA staff that he improved his response time and lateral speed.

“Really, just locked up,” said Williams about what he wanted to show at the combine harvester. “It is not that I can't do it, it is only the fact that I show it, and then I don't show it. It's more about standing up with him. Muscle memory and stay on and always stay ready.

But there is still something that Williams wanted to show – that he does have a competitive fire inside. In view of his calm nature on the pitch -Williams was never one who showed his emotions on the pitch, good or bad, a lot -he wanted to make sure that everyone understood that he has these killers.

“I am super competitive. It is difficult to read my body language or my behavior,” said Williams.

This competitive fire helped Williams to recover from a disappointing first scrimmage at the combine on Wednesday, where he missed all eight attempts. In his second scrimmage on Thursday, Williams was one of the best players on the pitch when he recorded 24 points with 7-of-12 shootout, which contained 4 out of 9 to 3-point converter. He was also money from the Free Wurfine and made all six attempts.

If everything goes well, Williams Nebraska's first player had been to NBA since Bryce McGowens in 2022.

“As a player and person, I am a winner,” said Williams when he was asked what he would offer an NBA organization. “I'm a hardworking man and a loyal guy, I drive for people who ride for myself. I look forward to playing where I play.”

Williams, whose 713 points of Nebraska's one-time record of 708 by James Palmer Jr. broke in 2018-19, has been the third Husker in the past five years, who has received a combine invitation.

McGowens, Banton and Roby were landed as second round picks, with McGowens being occupied by Minnesota 40.

Williams, born Huntersville, NC, spent six seasons in college – four in Charlotte, where his father played, and two in Nebraska. Williams is grateful for both programs that have a chance for him.

However, Nebraska will always take a special place in Williams' hearts. Here he developed into one of the best players in the big ten and the country.

“I definitely got out of what I was hoping,” said Williams about Charlotte's move to Nebraska. “And I definitely came out what I worked in the hard. But it was not without the help of my coaches in Charlotte and Nebraska.
