BYU guard Rudi William has thrived since moving from the Cougars' starting lineup to the sixth-man role. He scored a game-high 26 points in a win over Utah on Saturday.
Brigham Young Cougars guard Rudi Williams is celebrated during a timeout as Brigham Young University hosts University of Utah in Provo, Dec. 17, 2022. Brigham Young Cougars guard Rudi Williams grimaces as he collides with Utah Utes guard Lazar Stefanovic as Brigham Young University hosts University of Utah in Provo, Dec. 17, 2022.• The BYU men’s basketball team brought in Rudi Williams to be an ostensible replacement for Alex Barcello.
But the move worked. Williams has thrived in his role as a sixth man, scoring in double figures in three of the past four games. He scored 26 in Saturday’sat the Marriott Center, and also went off for 26 in the comeback road win over Creighton. Then there’s the turnovers. In the past four games, Williams is averaging 2.75 turnovers — he had none against Utah. In nine games as a starter, he averaged 3.78 turnovers per game.“I just feel like if it was going to be something that was gonna help this team win and be successful, I was all for it,” Williams said of his reaction when presented with the idea of coming off the bench. “I’m kind of older now. So that stuff doesn’t really make me flinch and I’m not really fazed by it.
Williams has come into this young BYU team and been the vocal leader. That hasn’t changed whether he has started or come off the bench. In practices, he has gotten in teammates’ faces and openly challenged them. He’s also been the team’s biggest cheerleader during stints he’s not playing.
