The draft had plenty of controversies this year, as Shedeur Sanders was a projected first-round pick, but he had to wait till the fifth round to eventually get picked by Cleveland. Meanwhile, Shilo was drafted, but the Buccaneers decided to sign him later, taking a punt.

Williams, a 6-foot-3 guard from San Diego, averaged 5.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game last season for the UCF Knights. He featured in 18 games, averaging 14.0 minutes per game on the court. He shot 37.1% from the field.

The Hornets have never featured in the NCAA Tournament therefore, the program has made wholesale changes by bringing in Bibby, O'Neal and Williams to help the program improve.

The program finished dead last in the Big Sky Conference under former coach Michael Czepil, registering a 3-15 regular season record. They also lost in the first round of the Big Sky Tournament against Weber State.

It will be interesting to see if Mike Bibby and Shaquille O'Neal can improve Williams' game in Sacramento State as the program aims for better outcomes in the coming years.
