Troy Williams: Signs three-year extension with Rockets

Williams, a former undrafted rookie out Indiana, began the 2016-17 campaign with
the Grizzlies, playing in 24 games, while notching 13 starts as an injury
fill-in. However, he wasn’t overly impressive with extended playing time and was
eventually let go in January. Once he cleared waivers, the Rockets took that
opportunity to sign him to a 10-day contract, before inking Williams to a deal
for the remainder of the season. He was solid in limited minutes during that
short stint, playing in six games (three starts) and averaging 9.7 points, 4.0
rebounds and 1.0 assist across 23.2 minutes. After signing a three-year
extension on Thursday, Williams should slot back in as an additional forward in
the frontcourt, but likely won’t see enough minutes to be a fantasy relevant.
The first year of the deal is fully guaranteed.
