Alan Williams will not be a Rocket. Not this year anyway, after the Summer League standout signed a one-year deal with Qingdao in China last week. It's very expected, but it's also a shame, because he is super fun.
Alan Williams is a 6-8 bull of a center, kind of like Joey Dorsey but with more finesse and less athleticism. He dominated Summer League, being named to the official second team and being named to Sports Illustrated's first team. In his last game of the summer, he had 22 points and 21 rebounds, the second-most in Summer League history.
