[Class of '66 Old Fart 92,888]

Listed as 6'6", Williams attends Dutchtown HS in Hampton, GA.  He plays AAU for the Georgia Stars (15U) on the EYBL circuit and his team just won the 15U Peach Jam Championship.  In the championship game he scored 28 pts. and grabbed 6 boards.

Won a gold medal with the USA at the FIBA U16 AmeriCup averaging 13.5 points and a team-high 7.8 rebounds in six games off the bench.

He was named to MaxPreps Freshman All-American First team after leading Dutchtown (26-4) to the Class AAAAA state quarterfinals, putting up 17 points, 11 rebounds and three assists per game.

NBADraftRoom.com - A.J. is a big time talent with clear NBA traits and abilities. He’s a wiry 6-7 wing with very good athleticism, good positional size and he plays with great effort. He’s a standout defender who will only get better on that end as he adds strength to his frame. Excels in transition and attacking the rim. A good off ball mover and cutter. At this point he’s a capable 3pt shooter with a smooth stroke but room to improve with his consistency. A really good prospect who will likely hold 5-star status throughout his high school career.

Always stings when you offer and then get just a passing reference in these kinds of stories.

Too many ties to the South.

I think the talking heads out there are going to be in for a surprise when we start getting commitments from some of these bigger names that have us on their short lists.
