The life of a hoops vagabond: C.J. Williams on mentoring, hoping for his next shot

Since the stoppage of NBA and G League basketball, C.J. Williams, the Long Island Nets veteran swingman, has been at home in North Carolina, waiting for his next opportunity. It’s been a tough couple months. The G League, unlike the NBA, isn’t coming back. So, he’s doing what he can to prepare for his next step. He’s already been part of 10 organizations, from overseas clubs in Cyprus, France and Italy to 53 games with NBA teams and another 191 with their G League affiliates. He’s the very essence of a journeyman, a basketball vagabond who plays for the love of the game.
