In a recent NBA Summer League matchup, the Detroit Pistons faced the Phoenix Suns, and former Nebraska guard Brice Williams turned in a standout performance, posting a game‑high 24 points. He shot efficiently, going 7‑of‑13 from the field, 3‑of‑6 from three‑point range and 5‑of‑7 from the free‑throw line, while also pulling down six rebounds and dishing out four assists.
A Strong Start for Williams
Through four summer league games, Williams is averaging just under 15 points and five rebounds per game, showing the consistency that carried him through a record‑breaking senior season at Nebraska.
At Nebraska, Williams averaged 20.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in his final year, ranking second in the Big Ten and 13th nationally in scoring. He capped that season by becoming the fourth player in school history to reach 1,000 career points in just two seasons, finishing with a school‑record 713 points in a single campaign.
Other Huskers Making Noise
The Pistons’ game also featured a matchup with Sam Hoiberg, now with the Phoenix Suns, while Rienk Mast continues to impress for the Indiana Pacers and Josiah Allick sees minutes with the Charlotte Hornets, giving the Nebraska alumni a presence across multiple teams.
The collective exposure highlights the program’s recent surge in producing NBA‑ready talent, and the performances suggest that Williams and his peers could each carve out meaningful roles in the league’s developmental pipeline.
