Williams won the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) in both 2001 and 2002 while he was also named as a consensus First Team All-American in those years in addition to his First Team All-ACC selections.
Williams was also the Most Valuable Player of the ACC Tournament in his freshman season after he already was named to the Third Team All-ACC and ACC All-Freshman Team.
His No. 22 is retired by Duke and hangs in the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

He was a two-time Third Team All-American in 1979 and 1981 and a four-time selection to the All-ACC Teams after being named to the Second Team from 1987-1980 and finally cracking the First Team in 1981.
Banks was also named as the ACC Rookie of the Year in 1978.
