College
Maurice Williams attended college at the University of Alabama under Mark Gottfried. In 2002 as a freshman, he started every game at point guard. Williams averaged 10.4 points and 4.5 assists per game. His play helped lead the Tide to a 27-8 record, including an astonishing 17-0 home record, along with a share of the SEC regular season championship. Williams and the Tide entered the NCAA tournament as a 2 seed, where they lost to Kent State 71-58 in the 2nd round. Williams led the team in scoring and assists, averaging 16.4 points and 3.8 assists per game for the 2003 season, which ended in a first round loss in the NCAA tournament to Indiana.
After two seasons, Williams decided to forego his final two years at Alabama, and enter the 2003 NBA Draft, which also included LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and others.
