Nebrasketball's Brice Williams Impresses at NBA Draft Combine

Williams played on both days for scrimmages. In the first game, he tallied seven rebounds and a steal, but missed all eight of his shots over 18 minutes.

In the second game, Williams bounced back in a big way. He scored a game-high 24 points on 7-of-24 shooting, including 4-of-9 from deep, in 21 minutes.

Listed at 6-7 and 214 pounds in his final year at Nebraska, the official combine measurements for Williams were 6-5 ¼ and 205.8 pounds, without shoes. He also measured in with a 6-10 ¾ wingspan and 8-7 ½ standing reach.

In a combine interview with a reporter from the Charlotte Hornets, Williams said he loves to play against high-level competition.

"It's been a lot this week with all the people, all the media, and all the spectators," Williams said. "But it's been fun. It's been a good experience."

Williams grew up in North Carolina and began his collegiate career at Charlotte. His dad was an on-air talent for the Charlotte Bobcats.

The final two years of college for Williams were spent in Lincoln. He went from scoring 13.8 points a game in his final year as a 49er to scoring 20.4 points a game and being named first-team All-Big Ten in his final year as a Husker.

"I definitely got out of (transferring to Nebraska) what I was hoping for, and I definitely got out of it what I put in," Williams said. "I put in a lot of hard work, but it wasn't without the help of my coaches at Charlotte and at Nebraska. I feel like when I got to Nebraska I made major leaps and bounds in my development."

The combine runs through May 18 at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago. The NBA draft will be June 25-26 in Brooklyn, New York.
