The thing that pops immediately when watching Kaydin Williams play is his shooting. That seems to be a central theme in all of his clips. And in his full game with Simeon, he scored consistently from multiple levels. Williams has a crafty handle. I really liked his pace. He utilized quality ball manipulation, which paired nicely with his pace to get him to his spots. Williams handled the ball very confidently both in the half-court and the full court.

Film Review Notes

The shooting is what pops immediately. And that travels with each of the YouTube highlights that I watched. In the 17U re-upload video, he shot the ball very well, was also pretty shifty off the bounce, got to spots, and showed he could rise up from multiple levels in the half-court. As you progress through the loaded videos, there is some full-game action as well. It gave a good, overall encompassing look at how he plays on both ends, and what the misses look like, as well as the makes from the highlights. Dating back to the Lincoln Park video, then Simeon, and even the summer clips, there is a crafty handle with solid ball manipulation and a shooting element. He looked comfortable pushing the issue.
