2017 NBA Manifesto
Troy Williams
SF, 6’7, 218lbs, 22 years old, 1 year of experience
Didn’t play much for the Rockets as a very late pick-up, However, between his short stint with the Rockets, his longer stint with the Clippers, his 33 games in the D-League and his three years at Indiana, it is not obvious what makes Williams an NBA player other than looking the part. Good size, great athleticism and defensive potential, with good energy, but with underdeveloped skills. Would benefit from a year of coaching to learn NBA defences if someone commits long term to him, but it is all a projection at this point.
Player Plan: Expiring $150,000 contract with a minimum salary cap hold. A candidate for the Vipers, perhaps on a two-way contract, but not an NBA player at this stage.
