Troy Williams has been the Memphis Grizzlies’ preseason hero, but will that earn him a roster spot?

Troy Williams was a key contributor to the Indiania Hoosiers in college, but didn’t show up on many NBA teams’ draft boards. As a matter of fact, he was passed over 60 times during the draft despite his extremely high scoring efficiency and ability to crash the boards.

He spent time with the Phoenix Suns during the NBA Summer League and posted solid numbers, scoring 12.33 points per game in six appearances. It didn’t mean all that much, though. After all, some summer teams—like the New York Knicks, for example—were, for a lack of a better word, horrendous.
