Brooklyn Nets: The Many Faces At Small Forward
Williams was drafted by the Nets with the 11th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. While at Louisville, Williams was guaranteed for a near triple-double every night. Under Rick Pitino, he averaged 13 points, nine rebounds and five assists per game in his senior year. Williams was the only player in division-I college basketball to average those numbers in 2008-09.
Williams’ skill-set never translated to the professional level and struggled with his shot mightily in his rookie campaign with the Nets. In his Sophomore season, Williams was demoted to the Springfield Armor of the NBA D-League in December 2010 and traded to Houston one week later.
