  11/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Williams accumulated zero points (0-2 FG), two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to Phoenix. Despite continuing to start for the Jazz, Williams has been unable to deliver anything close to meaningful production. Having now started seven straight games following a season-ending injury to Taylor Hendricks, Williams has scored double-digit points just once. With very little to add in terms of peripheral numbers, Williams' short-term outlook is far from rosy.

  Williams produced nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento. Williams moved to the starting lineup following the leg injury sustained by Taylor Hendricks on Monday, but the rookie had a rough time in the first start of his NBA career. Williams should eventually improve as the season progresses, and he could see even more usage in the short term if Lauri Markkanen (back) misses time.
