The Los Angeles Lakers waived former Gonzaga forward Johnathan Williams over the weekend, the team announced on Saturday. It is a solid setback for Williams looking to open his post-collegiate career in the NBA.
Williams joined the Lakers squad after going undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft. He showcased some strong play during the NBA Summer League, enough so to warrant a piece on the team’s website. A recent article by Jim Meehan of the Spokesman Review has quotes from the likes of Rajon Rondo and Luke Walton only saying positive things.
