Brandon Williams

Williams is a reminder that the undrafted road sometimes just takes longer. After bouncing between the G League and short NBA looks, including an early stint in Portland, he finally found stable footing in Dallas, where a two-way deal in 2024-25 grew into a real rotation role in 2025-26. This was his breakout: career highs of 66 games, 15 starts, and 13.0 points with 3.9 assists as a shot-making combo guard, with Kyrie Irving reportedly taking a hands-on interest in his development. The scoring pop is real, but the profile is still that of a bench guard rather than a settled starter, and with Dallas reassessing its backcourt his future in that specific uniform is genuinely uncertain heading into the offseason. What he did answer this year is whether he belongs in the league at all.
