2025 Fantasy Outlook
After three years in Memphis, Williams moved to Brooklyn in 2024-25 and had a career year. He started 45 of 63 appearances, averaging 10.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals in 24.5 minutes. He shot 34.1 percent from deep on 4.8 three-point attempts per game. The Nets' offense will run through Cam Thomas and Michael Porter, with Nic Claxton locking down the paint. However, beyond that, this rotation is a mess. Terance Mann and Haywood Highsmith are the veterans of the group at 28 years old and will likely have sizable roles, but shouldn't the Nets prioritize minutes for their five first-round draft picks? Not to mention returning wing players like Williams, Noah Clowney, Keon Johnson, Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin, who all deserve another look after solid performances last season. Williams may not have a starting role to begin his second campaign in Brooklyn, but he figures to be a key member of a rotation that'll have a ton of moving parts throughout the campaign. However, the expected lack of consistency in his role will make it difficult for Williams to deliver top-250 value. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Nets in July of 2025. Contract includes team option for 2026-27. 
Set to return to Brooklyn
Williams (knee) agreed Monday with the Nets on a two-year, $12 million deal that includes a team option for the 2026-27 season, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Brooklyn declined Williams' $8.35 million qualifying offer over the weekend to make him an unrestricted free agent, but he'll be brought back at a more palatable salary figure in what amounts to a one-year prove-it deal. In his fourth NBA season in 2024-25, Williams emerged as a regular contributor in the Brooklyn rotation, averaging 10.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.5 minutes per contest over 63 games. He missed Brooklyn's final two games due to right patella tendinopathy, but he should be fully healthy for training camp in the fall.

2021
Coming off an encouraging rookie season, Williams' role was reduced during the 2022-23 campaign. His playing time fell from 21.7 minutes per game to just 15.2. With averages of 5.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.6 combined steals and blocks, he ended the season well outside the top 400 in standard formats. The addition of Luke Kennard late in the season only complicates matters further for Williams. Given the fact he showed very little improvement, Williams' minutes could be reduced even further, at least in the short term. Outside of very deep leagues, he is not worth spending a draft pick on.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Agrees to waive NTC
Williams agreed to waive the trade veto rights that would have come along with his new two-year contract, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The two-year deal Williams officially signed with the Nets this week includes a team option on the second year, which would have given him an implicit no-trade clause, but he's now eligible to be moved ahead of the February trade deadline. The 23-year-old forward played 63 games in 2024-25 in his first season with Brooklyn, averaging a career-high 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in 24.5 minutes a contest, and he's expected to fill a rotational role off the bench during the upcoming campaign.
