Amari Williams: From Myerscough College to the NBA with Boston Celtics

Posted : 02 July 2025

Amari Williams, a recent draft pick by the Boston Celtics, has proven to be a highly anticipated player in the world of professional basketball. At 23 years old, Williams was selected as the 46th overall pick in the NBA Draft, marking a significant milestone in his career.

 

He became the third English-born active player in the NBA, joining Tosan Evbuomwan of the Brooklyn Nets and OG Anunoby of the New York Knicks.

 

Williams, who stands at 7 feet tall, began his journey at Myerscough College in Lancashire before moving to Drexel University in Pennsylvania and later the University of Kentucky.

 

According to his former coach at Myerscough, Mike Bernard, it was clear early on that Williams was destined to become a professional basketball player. Bernard mentioned that once Williams reached Kentucky, it became undeniable that he would make it to the highest level of the sport.

 

This achievement not only marks a personal triumph for Williams but also serves as a source of pride for his coaches and the institutions that supported his development.

 

 As basketball continues to grow in popularity in the UK, with over 1.5 million people playing weekly, Williams' success is expected to inspire future generations of English players to reach for the NBA.
