After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft, Troy Williams is looking like the next G-League/Summer League success story. Though he only played a grand total of 30 games between the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets last season, he’s been able to prove himself as a legitimate NBA player with a couple of impressive performances.
Aside from his career-high 21 points in a regular season win over the Phoenix Suns with the Rockets, Williams was a Summer League stud for Houston, averaging 22.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range.
He has yet to prove he can spread the floor consistently, but a little extra wing depth for the Rockets won’t hurt, especially since he’s still only 22 years old.
