Memphis Grizzlies recall Troy Williams from Iowa Energy

Posted: Jan 25, 2017

 

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) has appeared in nine games (two starts) over two assignments with the Energy (Dec. 26-Jan. 4, Jan. 5-25) and has averaged 15.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.5 minutes. He has scored in double figures five times, 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.

It lasted all of 1 day.  Troy sent back to the Iowa Energy.  Such is the life of an undrafted free agent.

What are the odds he gets picked up?

After how well he played for the Grizz I'd say easily, maybe OKC still has interest.

Like Yogi, he's now free to go with any other team that may have interest.  Look for him to get signed to some 10-day contracts filling in for injured players.

Troy Williams (MEM) is eligible to be claimed by all 29 teams. Williams is owed a projected $226k if claimed (cap hit $543k).

Williams $1.3m contract for 17-18 is non-guaranteed but has trigger dates starting July 1 for partial protection.

What is partial protection and how does that work?

I have absolutely no understanding of the NBA's salary structure.  Hopefully, there's another btb member out there that can answer your question.

Hearing Troy Williams cleared waivers and is expected to continue to play with Grizzlies' D-League affiliate in Iowa to remain in system.

 

This is what Yogi did after he was waived by the Brooklyn Nets. He stayed with the LI Nets in D-League until the Mavs came calling.

Shocked nobody claimed him

I don't know all of the rules on this but, isn't it easier for teams if they don't claim a player off waivers?  I think I heard that somewhere.  Similar to Yogi ... Mavs gave him a 10 day contract and that is all they were in for.

Yeah that's correct if you're willing to risk another team not snatching him up you can wait and it's easier. He's now cleared and is in the D-League so if that was the plan we should be hearing something anytime now.

Timberwolves are reportedly wanting to bring in Lance Stephenson on a 10-day contract. Why not give Troy a shot?
