After playing only 15 games during his rookie season, you could be forgiven for not knowing who Williams is. Selected with the 47th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, he profiles as a potential two-way option, albeit very raw at this point. The Grizzlies are once again going to be pushing hard for the playoffs, meaning court time for their fringe assets is going to be limited. Williams is unlikely to play more than about 10 minutes per game if and when he makes it onto the court. There is no reason to consider him in fantasy leagues. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, $6.65 million contract with the Grizzlies in January of 2024. Contract includes $2.49 million team option for 2026-27.
