Tulane’s Kam Williams transferring to Kentucky

On Friday, former Tulane Green Wave guard Kam Williams, a 6-foot-8 freshman, announced his transfer to Kentucky to play for Mark Pope's Wildcats.
Williams, a three-star recruit from Lafayette Christian Academy, is transferring to enhance his NBA prospects after playing one season at Tulane.
The 19-year-old Williams, who averaged 9.3 points and shot 41.5% from 3-point range in 33 games for the Green Wave, also drew interest from Baylor, Florida, Louisville, Texas Tech, Texas, LSU, and Arkansas.
Williams told ESPN, "Not many people get opportunities like this, so I wanted to pull the trigger fast," and "My dream is to play in the NBA."
Williams believes Kentucky's culture and player development, along with the need to replace six of their top seven scorers, will provide a significant platform to improve his NBA standing, especially as Kentucky prepares to face Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in Indianapolis on Friday night.
