Effective off bench Williams accumulated 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Saturday's 74-67 victory over Penn State.
Impact Williams returned to a bench role Saturday after drawing four consecutive starts, but he remained productive and led the Boilermakers in scoring while coming within a rebound of a double-double. Regardless of whether he regains his starting role, Williams should continue to have plenty of opportunities to contribute.

Not Starting Williams will reportedly come off the bench in Saturday's game against Penn State Mike Carmin of the Lafayette Journal & Courier reports.
Impact Williams has started in the last four games for Purdue, but he will revert back to his role coming off the bench against Penn State. The 6-foot-10 center has put up 13 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.1 steals on 20.4 minutes per game this season and should still be heavily involved for the Boilermakers. Zach Edey will get the starting nod at center for Purdue today.

Scores 10 as starter Williams notched 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 18 minutes during Saturday's 77-48 win over Butler.
Impact Williams drew his first start of the season Saturday, but he didn't see an uptick in playing time during the blowout win. Although the sophomore has now scored in double figures in each of the last four games, it's not clear whether his starting role will continue, particularly after Zach Edey posted a double-double off the bench. Regardless of Williams' status in the lineup, he's been a well-rounded fantasy contributor for most of the season.

Making first start of season Williams is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Butler.
Impact Williams will be entering the starting five for the first time all year in place of 7-4 sophomore, Zach Edey. Head coach Matt Painter has opted to bring Williams off the bench this year rather than start him alongside Edey after Williams had started over him last year. His new role hasn't really impacted his stats as Williams has been more efficient than ever this season, averaging 14.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, three assists and 1.3 steals in 20.9 minutes per game. He'll look to continue his solid play in Saturday's in-state rivalry against Butler.
