FloridaHoosierGirl Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Well, that explains why he was inactive at the Grizzlies/Magic game last night. I was looking forward to seeing him again. Napleshoosier and MikeRoberts 2 Quote
IUfan_Charlie Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Troy is playing right now on ESPN News. Game just started Quote
IUfan_Charlie Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Just picked up his 2nd foul halfway through the first. You can tell that he's never played with any of these guys before. 0-2, 2 TOs. Doesn't help that his team is 2-14. Quote
IUfan_Charlie Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 The Energy are down 82-56 at halftime. Iowa is pretty bad, letting Rio Grande Valley shoot 70+% from the field. Troy has 21 points on 8-12 (3-7) 2-2. Nobody else on Iowa has more than 7 points. Diadem, HoosierAloha, WayneFleekHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
IUfan_Charlie Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 The Iowa Energy lost by about 25. Troy played 27 minutes and had 32 points on 12-17 FG (3-8 3pt) 5-8 FT, 2 rebounds, and 3 steals. Diadem, HoosierAloha, IUsafety and 3 others 6 Quote

'No room at the inn' for meaningful minutes on the Grizzlies roster with players returning from injuries. He should see lots of minutes in the D-League so in one sense it's a better opportunity for Troy to develop NBA level skills. Quote
Stuhoo Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Grizzlies recall Troy Williams from Iowa Energy Posted: Jan 04, 2017 FACEBOOK GOOGLE PLUS TWITTER Memphis Grizzlies General Manager Chris Wallace today announced the team has recalled forward Troy Williams from its NBA Development League affiliate, the Iowa Energy. Williams (6-7, 218) appeared in three games (one start) for the Energy after being assigned on Dec. 26 and averaged 24.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.67 steals in 27.8 minutes. He scored in double figures in all three contests, including 32 points (12-17 FG, 3-8 3P, 5-8 FT) in 28 minutes in his D-League debut on Dec. 27 vs. Rio Grande Valley. The 22-year-old has appeared in 24 games (13 starts) for the Grizzlies during his rookie season and has averaged 5.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.00 steals in 17.4 minutes. The Hampton, Va. native went undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft after his junior season at Indiana University and signed with Memphis as a free agent on Aug. 8, 2016. He currently leads all undrafted NBA rookies in steals per game. hsrtxp, southsidehoosier and Diadem 3 Quote

I think Troy is better in the NBA than in College.The NBA just seems to suit him better. This unfortunately is NOT the case with the current play of NBA "prospects" Bryant and OG.

hsrtxp Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Agree. Wish we would have NBA Troy last year. Not the inconsistent Troy we had. In either case I'm glad he is thriving. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER and Whoozhers 2 Quote
