Williams increasing value with above-the-arc steals

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas forward Jaylin Williams has received a great deal of notoriety for his passing and shot creation for teammates this season.

Through 14 games, he is second on the team with 49 assists, trailing only Davonte "Devo" Davis, who has 52. Entering play this weekend at Texas A&M, Williams is somewhat comfortably in second with six more assists than guard JD Notae despite playing 51 fewer minutes.

The Fort Smith native has been a solid defender throughout the season, as well. Arkansas’ defensive rating, according to CBB Analytics, is 98.2 in his 401 minutes on the floor.
