Williams (undisclosed) won't play in the Bulls' Summer League finale, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams didn't play in the Bulls' final two Summer League games but it doesn't appear that the 2020 No. 4 overall draft pick is injured. Lauri Markkanen is still on the roster for now, but it is likely that Williams will man the starting power forward spot regardless of Markkanen's status at the beginning of the season. As a rookie, the 19-year-old averaged 9.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game.

Williams will join the Bulls for Summer League.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was a bit of a surprise pick at No. 4 in the 2020 NBA Draft, but he had a productive rookie campaign with averages of 9.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 27.9 minutes. He'll look to gain some more experience in Summer League.

Williams accumulated 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one assist in 32 minutes during Saturday's 105-91 loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
The 19-year-old went from totaling just 18 points over his last three games to score 24 points on 14 attempts. Before Saturday's game, Williams was averaging 6.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.7 minutes, so his career-high output in points was an encouraging sign from a developmental standpoint. The rookie will look to make it two impressive scoring performances in a row Sunday at home against the Bucks.

Williams totaled 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 26 minutes in Thursday's win over Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
As usual, Williams wasn't a focal point offensively, but he made the most of his five shot attempts while registering his highest rebound total since March 17. The rookie has provided quiet but important value for the Bulls this season, posting per-game averages of 9.2 points, 4.7 boards and 1.4 assists while shooting 47.8 percent from the field and starting all but one of the team's games.

Williams is probable for Saturday's contest against the Heat due to left heel soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is dealing with heel soreness coming off Thursday's win over the Hornets. He's taken a backseat in the offense lately. He's scored in double digits just once in the past nine games.

Williams posted six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
The 19-year-old continues to get it done to the defensive end, averaging 1.9 steals over his past nine games. While Williams doesn't provide much scoring, fantasy managers can depend on consistent steals and field-goal percentage along with decent rebounds. The rookie should continue playing 25-35 minutes the rest of the way for the 10th-seeded Bulls.

Williams posted 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 122-113 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has been a Swiss Army knife for the Bulls. The rookie is averaging 30.7 minutes per game over the last 10 games -- third-highest on the team and highest among the team's forwards. He's scored in double digits in five of the past six games. Williams' progression has been slow and steady, but if he continues to see these types of minutes, it wouldn't be a leap to say the production will rise.

Williams posted 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four steals, three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The 19-year-old was only averaging 0.7 steals a game before Tuesday's stealing binge. Williams has started every game this season, averaging 9.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists with little else in 48 games this season. The rookie has been an inconsistent fantasy option all season, but he's still worth rostering in deep leagues for his low-end points, rebounds and assists.

Williams posted 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in Wednesday's loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie has now scored in double figures in back-to-back games for the first time since early March. He continues to flash intriguing potential on the defensive end as well, racking up at least one steal or block in 21 of his last 23 games. Since the All-Star break, Williams is averaging 8.8 points, 5.0 boards, 1.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks in 28.1 minutes.
