Montreal Alliance Adds Guard Lue Williams III to 2026 Roster

The Montreal Alliance announced today the signing of American guard Lue Williams III ahead of the 2026 Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) season.

Williams III (6’5”, 190 lbs), a native of Atmore, Alabama, enters his second professional season after an impressive rookie campaign with Lahti Basketball in Finland, where he averaged 19.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 42.2 percent from three-point range.

Known for his offensive consistency, Williams quickly established himself as one of his team’s primary scoring options in Europe, recording multiple 20-point performances while showcasing his efficiency from beyond the arc.

“Lue is a natural scorer who can make an immediate impact offensively,” said General Manager and Co-Owner Joel Anthony. “His versatility, perimeter shooting, and ability to fill multiple roles are exactly what we’re looking for.”

Before beginning his professional career, Williams enjoyed a strong collegiate career, highlighted by his time at Tarleton State University (NCAA Division I), where he was a consistent starter and versatile contributor on both ends of the floor.

Prior to Tarleton State, he stood out at Coastal Alabama South, where he emerged as one of the team’s top offensive threats, regularly producing scoring performances in the 20-to-30-point range.

An energetic and competitive player, Williams III brings offensive versatility and the ability to impact the game in multiple ways.
