Cheshire Phoenix star Jordan Williams vows to bring back trophies after impressive start
JORDAN WILLIAMS is wasting no time in carving out a reputation as one of the BBL’s potential leading lights this season.
The Cheshire Phoenix ace has propelled his team to three wins from four games, in what has proven a blistering start to his life in British Basketball.
However, the American is keen to let people know he isn’t only about putting points on the board.
He stressed, “I’m just a do it all guy and play hard on both defence and offence. I like to shoot three-pointers, I like to dunk and love to excite the crowd.
“I guess I just try to bring a whole lot of energy to the court."

A real livewire, Williams has given Phoenix a spark at just the right time after their summer move into the impressive new Cheshire Oaks Arena.
Operating in tandem with the best of British talent in Liverpudlian team leader David Aliu, the duo have really given the north-west club a springboard for success.
Williams is also ensuring his team-mates aim high and is acutely aware of past glories, which once witnessed the franchise clean up on all fronts.
“I want to bring some trophies back to the Cheshire programme,” he declared.
“It’s four trophies that you play for in this league and I want to win them all.”
There’s only one thing worrying Williams right now after such a whirlwind and impressive start - namely the prospect of a British winter looming large on the horizon.
“I have actually seen the sun a couple of times since I have lived here,” he joked.
“In Texas its really hot weather and people are telling me it’s say going to rain a lot and maybe snow too, so I’ll just have to get used to it.”
But the way Williams has stared so far, he looks set to generate some real winter warmth for the Phoenix faithful who have gleefully found themselves a potential new hero figure.
