Drew highlighted Williams' ability to get to the paint, distribute the ball, and play solid defense, noting the team is trying to put him in better positions to succeed.
Why it matters

Drew praised Williams' ability to get to the paint and create for others, as well as his coachability and work ethic. The coach believes Williams is starting to trust his teammates more and play with less hesitation, which is allowing him to be more effective.

What they’re saying
“Well, Isaac is so effective getting to the paint, and I think he's really improved his ability to get to the paint and spray it around, get other guys' shots. He's always been really good at getting to the rim and finishing, but adding the game slowed down for him, and it's allowed him to, I mean, five assists, zero turnovers.”

“You take that every day, twice on Sunday, 5-for-6, 1-for-1 from three. And then defensively, he does a really good job. He really competes, really coachable, extremely hardworking. Those are the guys that have really done well in our program, is the guys that come in and they listen and work extremely hard. So happy for him.”
— Scott Drew, Head Coach, Baylor Bears
