Ziaire Williams

Migrating over from one young, eager-to-prove-itself franchise to another, Ziaire Williams made a thoughtful first impression with the Brooklyn Nets through a proven old-reliable. Fully capable of bringing the house down for an alley-oop jam himself, Williams, this time, leaves the honors to his former All-Star point-forward, keeping steady from the corner as a well-designed play materializes. Prepared to let a shot fly after the Atlanta Hawks’ defense fully invests into the lob, Williams — historically known for having a strength, particularly from the 3-point corner’s right side — cashes in, supplying a one-point lead in the second quarter. Forcing Brooklyn to play at their sped-up pace, Atlanta would deal the Nets a narrow, high-scoring loss on October 23, 2024, though Williams contributed impressively, recording nine points (on three-of-six shooting), three rebounds, one assist, and two triples.
