We open our new Inside Pack Sports series with five questions on star wing Darrion Williams: why he was targeted in the portal, how his role evolved after late roster adds, his best/worst-case outcomes, and where his season likely lands.
The staff recruited him to be the alpha — the primary decision-maker in big moments — and nothing about that has changed.
The twist? Added frontcourt depth could slide him between the 3 and 4, unlocking lineup flexibility and cleaner matchups.
Skimmable Takeaways:
• Schematic Fit: Expect flexible usage (3/4) to juice lineups and keep the floor spaced.
• Stock Watch: DW’s two-way versatility is the roster’s swing skill.
• What Proves It: Early games vs physical wings will test his on-ball/contain defense.
• March Angle: All-ACC trajectory; NC State’s seed ceiling rises if his creation scales.
