The Phoenix Suns have signed Alan Williams to a multi-year contract.
Williams initially signed with the Suns on March 8 and made his debut with the team last night at Utah.
Williams, who went undrafted in 2015, played earlier this season with Qingdao DoubleStar of the Chinese Basketball Association where he led the league with an average of 15.4 rebounds in 35 games this season, in addition to scoring 20.8 points per contest. Williams played with Houston at NBA Summer League 2015, averaging 20.5 points and 11.8 rebounds in four games with the Rockets in Las Vegas. He earned All-NBA Summer League Second Team honors with his top performances including a 22-point, 21-rebound game against Philadelphia on July 17 and a 27-point, 10-rebound game against the D-League Select team on July 10.
A 6-8, 260-pound post player, Williams completed a decorated four-year career at UC Santa Barbara in 2015. The Gauchos’ all-time leading rebounder (1,125) and second-leading scorer (1,732), Williams led the nation with an average of 11.8 rebounds in 2014-15 and ranked second nationally with 11.5 in 2013-14. He was named Big West Player of the Year after averaging a career-best 21.3 points in 2013-14 as he averaged 15.5 points in 112 career appearances.

Is this guy ever going to be more than a practice body on this team? Just seems odd that we just signed somone from the d-league to a 10 day contract to a multi-year contract.

I was kinda hoping we would sign Christian Wood to a contract similar to this. He still has a lot of potential and he is only 20 years old. We could have put him on the summer league team and see if his body would develop. His situation reminds me of how Hassan Whiteside was when he entered the league.

Yup he was my sleeper prospect last year, can't believe he went undrafted and is bouncing around, must be some mental issues

From what I heard when he was at UNLV, he doesn't have the best of work ethic. It kinda explains it since he had the highest body fat perfcentage out of the prospects while build like a twig. He is clearly extremely talented. Averaged 15/10 while blocking 2.7 shots a game. He showed he could shoot from beyond the line. He left school way too early.

Let's not get too crazy, I'm sure it's for the rest of the season plus next year but non/partially guaranteed.
