He’s 6-6 and rail thin in short video I saw. Like that he is left handed.
Scouting report I found — Williford is a talented wing who scores on three levels. He's long, active, and bouncy, with high-level finishing ability. He has a left-handed shot he can make from anywhere. He's a versatile, vocal defender. He played for Cathedral HS in Los Angeles last season and is currently listed as a Middlebrooks Academy player (William Middlebrooks runs both programs).

Watched another short highlight video of his, though it was from almost 2 years ago. Didn’t look particularly smooth. Reminded me of a weanling horse — a bit herky jerky and all really thin “arms and legs.” He did show a nice stroke from 3 and good use of a Euro step on one play. He was ranked around 200 I think, so presumably at least one person saw some good things from him.
Looks to me like he might be a project, but at 6-6 and with his ranking and the scouting report that I put in initial post probably the type of player Beavs need to take and hope he grows into his body as he matures. Will be interested to see how he has progressed since that video I saw and what further development might bring.

Will be interesting to see how he develops. Reminds a bit of a much thinner Alfred Hollins his first couple years. Athletic but, rough. Although he can shoot it better than Hollins ever could. Hollins filled out and showed glimpses, but even at UTEP never really was more than a small role player. |

I got a bit of a Hollins vibe too, though Hollins was more explosive I think. Speaking in terms of last year’s team, just quality wise he’s currently much more Stevens than Rataj. But Stevens wasn’t ranked nearly as high I don’t think. So there is hope I think that he could develop into a usable wing in time.
