Shawn Williams bio page
What are your thoughts on being part of what some say is one of the best freshman classes to ever come to Texas? It feels good. It's always good to be considered one of the best. I'm looking forward to it.
What are you going to have to do to earn playing time? The main thing is playing defense. That's always a key factor. If you can't stop anybody, you're not going to play anyway, no matter who you are. That's what I'm working on right now.
Tell us about your three-point shooting ability? That's my so-called trademark, but I'm trying to work on every aspect of my game and be a complete player.
What are your thoughts on "hitting the ground running" in the first part of the season? I'm anticipating it. They say when the season starts, it's treacherous. But I'm looking forward to it.
Are there any facets of your game that are underrated? Rebounding. I prided myself on rebounding in high school. It's probably one of the best aspects of my game.
Tell us a little about Avery Bradley: He's a cool dude. He's always keeping us laughing. He's always telling jokes. We do our regional thing about where everybody's from, and he's from Washington. On the court, he's an athlete. I've never seen a guy that can do the stuff he can do.
Tell us a little about J'Covan Brown: He's a cool dude too. He's another jokester who is always laughing about something.
