College career

Williams committed to Maryland on October 21, 2008.

Freshman

Williams started 31 games as a freshman for the 2009–10 Maryland Terrapins men's basketball team. He was an All-ACC rookie team selection. Williams finished second in rebounding in the ACC.[3] Maryland coach Gary Williams complimented Williams' growth as a player as the season progressed.[1]

Sophomore

Before his sophomore season, Williams was named to the preseason watch list for the Wooden Award and Naismith Award watchlists.[2] In a January 22, 2011 victory over Clemson, Williams recorded his thirteenth straight Double-double, which set a Maryland record. He broke a streak previously held by Len Elmore.[4] He was picked to the Third Team All-America by Fox Sports.[5]

After the season, Williams submitted his name to the NBA draft. Initially, he did not sign with an agent, which left open the possibility of staying in college.[6] He later hired an agent, which precluded a return to collegiate basketball.[7]

Professional career

On June 23, 2011, the New Jersey Nets drafted Williams with the 36th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft.[8] During the 2011 NBA lockout, he agreed to play for the Polish team Zastal Zielona Góra. However, the lockout ended before he played a game for them.[9]

Williams was assigned to the Springfield Armor in January 2012.[10] Later that month, Williams was recalled by the Nets.

On July 11, 2012, the Nets traded Williams, Johan Petro, Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow, and Deshawn Stevenson to the Atlanta Hawks for Joe Johnson.[11] The Hawks requested waivers on Williams on September 17, 2012.[12]

On August 28, 2013, he signed a one-year deal with Bilbao Basket.[13] However, on September 8, he parted ways with the club.[14]
