Williams

He was expected to be sent down today, but that may have changed with Bogdan Bogdanovic (foot) and Iman Shumpert (hip) being ruled out. Williams can play both forward spots and would likely be in the rotation as a possible candidate to start, too. He could be a DFS punt play, but there are 12 games tonight.

This could be a sign that Bogdan Bogdanovic (foot) and Iman Shumpert (hip) will be good to go for tonight’s game against the Thunder. Williams saw 30 minutes off the bench during Monday’s massive blowout, but he typically isn’t all that involved in the rotation.

Williams has played 51 games in his NBA career, for three different teams. The Kings don’t have much wing depth, so there’s a chance he’ll see some time with the big club. However, he’s highly unlikely to provide any fantasy value.

Williams isn’t typically in the rotation in Sacramento, so his absence from the active roster tonight won’t have any major impact in fantasy hoops.

He logged 34 minutes on Tuesday with Iman Shumpert out for a hip issue. If Shumpert is out again and the Kings don’t trust Justin Jackson, Williams could see a decent amount of minutes again.

Williams missed Thursday’s game, but will be back in action on Sunday. He’s not a fantasy option and his return doesn’t impact anyone’s value.

Williams deal is a training camp deal and he’ll face an uphill battle to make the Grizzlies final roster. He averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals in Vegas Summer League, but is likely to spend most of the 2016-17 season in the D-League.

He played for the Suns during the Vegas Summer League, averaging 12.3 points, 4.3 boards and 1.7 steals on 54.3 percent shooting. It’s just a training camp deal, so Williams will still have a lot of work to do in order to make the 15-man roster in Memphis.

Williams made 5-of-11 shots (0-of-5 from downtown) but he did most of his damage with a 14-of-15 mark at the FT line. The undrafted forward was coming off a 22-point, six-rebound game on Saturday, and Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports that Williams has “at least four teams” interested in giving him a guaranteed contract. He’s a fringe fantasy option no matter where he lands.

This is a surprising move, as Williams had played just 10 minutes over the Grizzlies first three games. The undrafted rookie was a longshot to even make the roster back at the start of training camp. It is safe to leave Williams on the waiver wire for now, until he proves he will stick in the starting lineup and play significant minutes.
