When the Boston Celtics selected Kentucky center Amari Williams 44th overall in last month’s draft, it didn’t take long for the fanbase to get excited about his unique skillset. Williams, a 23-year-old big man from England, might be the best passing center in the 2025 draft class, while also being a strong rebounder and defender.
Williams, a super senior who spent four years at Drexel before finishing his collegiate career at Kentucky, showed flashes of upside in Vegas, for sure. It would be silly not to lead with his vision. It was exactly as the prophets (the draft/college basketball experts) predicted.
