ESPN compares Duke commit Cameron Williams to highly impactful SEC big man

Jon Scheyer has Duke with the No. 1 recruiting class once again in the 2027 cycle, highlighted by the signing of 5-star Arizona forward Cameron Williams, who is the top-ranked player in the Blue Devils' class.

Williams is ranked as the No. 2 overall player in the 247 composite. He might not be expected to make the same impact as Cooper Flagg and Cameron Boozer, who both had historic freshman seasons in Durham, but Williams should be a ready-made college star for Duke in 2026-27.

ESPN's Paul Biancardi compared some of the nation's top high school seniors with current college basketball stars, and while Williams's comp may leave some fans underwhelmed, it shouldn't.
