I will be interested to see how Kam Williams does at Ohio State, because his description and videos suggest the type of player who could average 25 points a game at a mid-level college like, say, a Drexel or St. Bonaventure. He clearly knows what he is on the court to do, and that's "score the ball." He is a scorer, and he appears to be a very good and very confident one at that. Will that translate at the Ohio State level? It depends on how much freedom his teammates and Coach Matta give him. The ability to score on running floaters and step-backs is evident in these highlights, but those are the kinds of shots that are only tolerated with certain players. Thus, I am interested to see what kind of freedom he receives. Could be very exciting, or it could be very frustrating. We shall see.

I found a gold mine as far as getting HS stats for Kam on the web, so I'm going to post some articles here and stuff from his last season of high school. So far they have played on game this season and there is no recap available yet.

A big win from last year:
No. 6 Gaels deny John Carroll repeat with second half surge; Williams take MVP honors
MVP_Williams_John_Plevyak_Commissioner%20Jack%20Degele%202-26-12_large.jpg

St. Joe's Kameron Williams receives the BCL Tournament MVP tropy, presented by Mrs. John Plevyak and BCL Commissioner Jack Degele.

Mount Saint Joseph outscored John Carroll 32-11 in the second half to overcome a nine point half-time deficit, and the surge allowed the Gaels to win the 41st Baltimore Catholic League Tournament, with a 52-39 victory over the defending champions in Sunday's championship game at Stevenson University.

The Gaels were led by tourney MVP Kameron Williams and Lavon Long, who was named to the All-Tournament team. In winning their first BCL crown since 2006, the Gaels (27-6) avenged last Sunday?s loss to John Carroll in the MIAA A Conference finals at UMBC. The Irvington school is now tied with St. Maria Goretti with four championships, fourth most in history.

Williams hit an NBA three mid-way through the third quarter that ignited the Gael offense. The Williams' jumper cut the John Carroll lead to five (29-24), and it changed the momentum of the game. St. Joe held John Carroll to one field goal in the third quarter, and their stifling play on defense continued into the fourth quarter.

The Gaels held high scoring Jarred Jones to just six points on the day, and only sophomore Kamau Stokes reached double figures for John Carroll. The Patriots were coming off a dramatic one point win over St. Frances in the semifinals, as well as a triple overtime win over Goretti in the quarterfinals, and may have run out of steam in the second half Sunday.

Williams and Long each finished with 17 points. Long was 11-for-11 from the free throw line in the second half, and he scored 11 points for coach Pat Clatchey in the fourth quarter. Williams scored twelve in the second half, and he was 6-for-6 from the line on the day.

The Gaels were 22-24 from the line on the day, a blistering 92%.

"The free throws helped us win the game, and we stepped up our defense in the second half," said Williams, who was held to just five points by the Patriots in last week's loss in the MIAA championship game.

Long said that he had to redeem himself after a poor performance in the Gaels semifinal win over Spalding on Saturday.

"I came in with the mentality that I was going to score and work hard the whole game."

John Carroll coach Tony Martin gave the Gaels credit.

"They played great in the second half. Our legs gave out a little after the hard fought wins in the first two rounds," said Martin.

It was career win 470 for Clatchey, and his fourth BCL championship. Clatchey is 175-93 in BCL play, the third winningest coach in league history behind Loyola's Jerry Savage (190) and the late Ray Mullis (Cardinal Gibbons - 183). Sunday's win allowed Clatchey to move one win ahead of St. Frances' William Wells, who retired after the 2008 season with 174 wins.

The Gaels have more BCL wins (294) than any team in league history, and they also have the most playoff wins (44) in league history.

Jones, who made a pressure-packed free throw to send the Pats to the finals at the end of regulation on Saturday, was also named All-Tournament, as was Stokes for John Carroll. Archbishop Spalding's Greg Brown was also named All-Tournament, while Calvert Hall's Justin Beck was given the tournament's Sportsmanship Award.

St. Joe has already been granted a spot in the Alhambra Catholic Invitational Tournament, March 15-17 in Frostburg State University. The BCL is guaranteed two teams and most likely John Carroll will receive an at-large bid this week

Kam's team got a 68-57 win over St Maria Goretti on 12/4 but I could not find any stats on that one.

Kam scored 22 to lead Mount St Joseph to a 59-54 win over Archbishop Carroll (DC) on 12/7. The recap states that game brought his team's record to 6-1, but that is not consistent with what I had gathered. They did have a game 11/20 that was a 79-56 win over Annapolis Area Christian, but I did not find any stats for that either and I had thought it was an exhibition - if it was a game that counted, then they would be 5-1 according to the schedule that I posted a link to earlier. I did read a tweet that a kid posted after the Annapolis Area Christian game that Kam "went bonkers" which I assume to mean he had a good game.

So in spite of the report that they are 6-1 right now, they have only had six games for all I know, and I found stats for four of them where Kam averaged 20 ppg. They are playing Bullis tonight as I type this.

Kam Williams, G, Mount St. Joseph, 2013: Williams lived up to the billing as the best pure shooter in attendance, knocking down jumpers from all over the court. Williams just didn’t settle for 3-point attempts however – he used a variety of ball fakes and hesitation moves to get into the midrange area and show off soft touch from 15-18 feet. He’s going to be able to contribute to Ohio State right away with his ability to knock down shots.

Wow, we've got some serious scorers coming in next year. Williams will get to play in front of his friends and family at Maryland in a few years also now that they are in the BiG. That's pretty cool.
