Money Williams has already put the ACC on blast, earning co-Player of the Week honors after leading Boston College to two massive wins right out of the gate. This dude is straight up tearing it up, averaging an insane 28.5 points, 7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. Talk about an early statement, huh? He is not just putting up numbers, he is willing his team to victories.
Williams Sharing the Spotlight, But Not the Stats
Williams didn’t just slide into the award, he shared the early-season nod with Preseason ACC Player of the Year Thijs De Ridder of Virginia. But let’s be real, Williams’ individual output is just popping off. In their season opener against Wagner, part of the Hall of Fame Series in Boston, he dropped 22 points on 5-for-11 shooting. That’s a solid start, but then he decided to turn it up a notch.
The UMass Game That Blew Up
Things really got wild against UMass. Williams went absolutely ballistic, racking up 35 points, pulling down nine boards, and dishing out five assists in a dominant 71-55 victory. That’s the kind of performance that makes you hit rewind. But the craziest part? His free throw game. This is where he’s truly separating himself from the pack.
Ice in His Veins From the Charity Stripe
We’ve seen players score a ton, but consistency from the line is what separates the good from the great. Williams has been living there, going 24-for-28 from the free throw line across these two games. And get this, he was absolutely perfect against UMass, knocking down all 13 of his attempts. That’s clutch, plain and simple. If he keeps draining free throws at that clip, defenses are gonna have a nightmare trying to guard him without sending him to the line. This kind of early season explosion tells you everything you need to know about the kind of year Williams is cooking up, and it’s only just begun.
