For head coach Steve Forbes, Williams provides a major boost of athleticism on the wing, too. Williams finished with 16 dunks this season.

Given the high amount of roster turnover this offseason in Winston-Salem, this is a big addition for Wake Forest. Seven different players left the program following the end of the season; sophomore center Ody Oguama was the most recent departure last week.
