According to HoopsHype, both the Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings have scheduled workouts with Texas Tech’s top talented forward. The Bucks, who currently own the 47th overall pick, may have a shot at drafting Williams—but only if he slips past Sacramento, who picks earlier at No. 42. If Milwaukee comes away impressed and is serious about targeting him, they’ll have to hope the Kings decide to go in a different direction.
There’s plenty to like about top star as a potential fit for the Kings. At 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, he brings a sturdy frame and the defensive versatility to guard multiple positions consistently. Over a strong three-year college career, he averaged 11.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game—demonstrating a well-rounded game and relentless motor.
While he lacks top-tier athleticism—arguably his biggest drawback—his all-around skill set and defensive potential still make him an intriguing prospect. If the Kings pass on him at No. 42 and he’s still available when Milwaukee picks at No. 47, the Bucks could see real value in drafting a high-IQ, do-it-all forward who fits their defensive-minded system.
At this stage, only the Bucks and Kings are confirmed to have workouts scheduled with top star, though that list is likely to grow in the coming weeks. Milwaukee will continue evaluating a wide range of players as they look to uncover a hidden gem in this year’s draft—someone who can make an impact even from a later pick.
Fortunately, if Williams is off the board, this draft class is deep with promising wings and forwards. Players like John Tonje, Micah Peavy, and Koby Brea could also be strong options, offering the size, youth, and tools the Bucks are targeting at the forward position.
For now, the Bucks’ direction remains uncertain—but that’s part of the intrigue of the NBA Draft. Keep an eye on which prospects make their workout list, as it could hint at the front office’s thinking in the lead-up to draft night.
