After leading the University of Illinois to the National Championship game in the 2005 NCAA Tournament, Williams was selected third overall in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz. While his career came to an end rather unceremoniously in 2017, where he was a shell of his former self while playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Williams thankfully hung up his basketball shoes for good after that.
