HERENDA ON WILLIAMS: "Akeem Williams is a flat out scorer and also had to play the point for us a s well. His numbers, considering the circumstances, were phenomenal. He needs to continue to strive to work on his defensive habits as well. Akeem is going to be guarded even harder this year and he will need to be able to adjust his game. Akeem is very special offensively and we expect him to score the ball for us again this year."
