Williams is an incredibly fast player, and this makes her ability seem limitless and she can seem unstoppable to opposing defenses. Williams is also relentless when it comes to putting pressure on defenders. Williams is also very technical, so she isn't just a speed merchant. She can move quickly with the ball at her feet as well as when she is not in possession. And, despite just being a freshman, she is very powerful and hard to knock off the ball.
