We have not seen any guard yet on the current roster even close to her scoring abilities inside and outside of the arc.
Depends on how you look at it. Playing time, role, team needs all factor into this.
Williams had much more playing time than players on next year's roster.
Williams scored one 3pt basket for every 13.9 minutes she played. Compare that to Jump who scores one every 8.9 minutes.
Williams scored one point for every 2.36 minutes she played. Compare that to Jump who scores one every 2.45 minutes. (I had to use hundredths of a minute or they'd have been the same.)
I didn't realize it before but in terms of points and minutes of playing time, Williams played and scored less as a senior than as a junior, and less as a junior than as a sophomore.
Points per 40 minutes playing time:
Lexie: 16.24
Hannah: 16.31
Kiana: 16.93
I'd say that is "even close"
