"It's a surreal moment, I kind of have to pinch myself," said Williams, a four-year standout at Duke, member of Canada's World Men's Lacrosse Championship team and the son of Las Vegas Desert Dogs general manager and head coach Shawn Williams. "It's the start of my dream to play in the NLL, and I couldn't be more excited to be sharing this moment with my family and friends."

The Entry Draft followed Friday's induction of the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame Class of 2021 (delayed due to pandemic), a group that includes the elder Williams.
