Despite averaging just 3 assists per game over his first 100-plus games, Williams found himself in the best playmaking stretch of his career in late November 2025, dishing out 73 assists over an 8-game span. Sandwiched between games of 17 and 15 assists, the Grizzlies guard found his team trailing by three in the third quarter at Dallas on November 22, 2025. Williams surveyed the court from the top of the key and noticed rookie center Zach Edey establishing deep post position. The third-year guard fired a no-look pass through traffic that hit Edey in stride, allowing the 7-foot-4 center to catch and flush home an easy two-handed dunk. Williams finished the road contest with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. · Nov 23, 2025
