If he keeps performing like this, he should find his way back into the starting five sooner than later.

Williamson seems to be recovered from the injury that forced him to miss two games earlier this month, and that's undoubtedly a positive sign for the Cardinals moving forward. His next chance to play will come Dec. 26 against Kentucky.
