Well, that explains why he was inactive at the Grizzlies/Magic game last night. I was looking forward to seeing him again.

Troy is playing right now on ESPN News. Game just started 

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

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.

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.

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.

Never noticed Troy to lack "confidence "in his game.

'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.

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.

To be candid. 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. Not sure right now if their Div. 1.

Agree. Wish we would have NBA Troy last year. Not the inconsistent Troy we had. In either case I'm glad he is thriving.

That's got to be painful though still better than most jobs.
