When the Memphis Grizzlies signed Troy Williams this summer, it was to give the kid a chance. Being on a non-guaranteed contract, there was no harm in bringing him in and giving him a shot. To make the roster, he would have to beat out D.J. Stephens and Wayne Selden, which many of us thought would be hard for the forward to do.
“Grit n Grind” material?
The high-flying forward averaged close to 10 rebounds per game at Indiana. Williams also has a solid 3-point stroke, shooting 36 percent from deep his last two seasons in college.
