An LSU guard has joined three other teammates in transfer portal

Guard Justice Williams became the fourth player from the 2023 LSU basketball team to enter the NCAA transfer portal Thursday.

Williams, a 6-foot-4, 175-pound sophomore, put his name in the portal for the second year in a row. He did so after coach Will Wade was fired last March, but eventually returned to join new coach Matt McMahon.

The Philadelphia native joins fellow guard Justice “Juice” Hill and forwards Kendal Coleman and Corneilous Williams in the portal.

Hill put his name in Tuesday night and Coleman and Williams followed suit Wednesday.

Williams averaged 3.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists while battling an ankle injury that sidelined him for nearly a month in nonconference play.

He eventually averaged 15.8 minutes of playing time while appearing in 23 games with seven starts.

Williams had season-highs of nine points and five assists, both at Alabama on Jan. 14, and also had six rebounds vs. Auburn on Jan. 18. He shot just 33.7% from the field overall — 17.9% from 3-point range.

The 60-day basketball transfer portal window opened March 13 and closes May 11.
