RT@SpearsNBAYahoo: D-League Santa Cruz G Elliott Williams is expected to sign a 10-day contract with the Jazz soon,sources said. He is in SLC taking a physical

The 25 year old was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers (1st round, pick #22) back in 2010, and he has bounced around a bit. He played for Portland (24 games, 6.2 mpg) as a rookie, then got injured and missed his entire second season. He then signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers and was cut in training camp, and then signed on to play for the Philadelphia 76ers, where he would play in 67 games, and 1157 minutes.

He has had injuries for most of his professional career, something he didn't really face as a player at Duke, or Memphis. In the D-League he has played for the Philadelphia 76ers Philly's affiliate the Deleware 87ers and and the Santa Cruz Warriors. He is young, and as a shooting guard in the minor leagues, is averaging 21.2 ppg, 7.5 apg, and 4.7 rpg -- while hitting 38.6% of his shots from deep.



D-League Digest @DLeagueDigest Follow According to one NBA scout recently, "Elliot Williams is the top guard option in the entire NBA D-League."
Getting all sorts of D-leaguers up in here.

Weird how these guys kill it in the Dleague, but hardly ever make any impact whatsoever at the next level.

Yeah its hard to believe the disparity between the NBA and the D-League is that great but it must be for them to never do a whole lot up here. Hopefully Millsap and Williams are an exception.

Yeah id like to see these guys stick around and actually get a chance to prove themselves. Poor Murry never had a chance, and I thought he'd actually be a contributor.

Same here I really thought he'd be better than Clark but Clark has been doing pretty well now that he's getting some playing time. How long that will last is a mystery though.

Feel bad for Christopher too. He got waived today and I hope someone gives him a shot when he's healthy again.

Did not see that one coming. Helluva stat though. Holy s**t he's a difference maker.

6-4 in our last 10 games.

Gobert has been a huge part of that. His defense is insane, and he and Favors seem to work well on the court together. Really fun team to watch right now

Absolutely and I'm starting to get worried about the contract money he's gonna demand for his extension. In my opinion a guy like him will demand a lot more than Kanter on the market so we gotta make sure we lock him up next year. I'd rather have the Jazz pay him 10M or more than Kanter.

Rodney is playing tonight!

11 games away from tying our win total from last year!

Gobert is amazing!! He should be starting, no question. Favors, Gobert, and Hayward are looking like the cornerstones of this team. I hope Exum can make big strides to be a part I that too. I don't doubt it, but it's clear who the most important players are right now

Not sure when we can sign him but we have to lock the guy up ASAP. He is a one of a kind talent, and he just keeps getting better and better. He's slowly starting to figure out offense as well.

Exum- I understand he is very young and raw, but I would like to see him assert himself more on offense. I'm a little concerned because we have yet to really see him show any huge strength. He shows potential, but it's still very questionable what his potential is.

Let's not forget about this guy either

19 ppg, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assist

He's coming along great. He's gotten better and developed a solid mid range game.
