In 2014, Elliot Williams was selected by the Santa Cruz Warriors with the second overall pick in the 2014 NBA Development League Draft.
Since then, he's developed into an important aspect of the Warriors' D-League roster and coach Casey Hill thinks he deserves to be in the NBA.
"Elliot deserves to be in the NBA and he's gonna get his shot if he keeps playing this way," Hill said after the Warriors' 98-87 loss to the Austin Spurs at Kaiser Permanente Arena last Saturday night.
Although the back-to-back games against the Spurs were quite different — Santa Cruz lost to Austin on Saturday after beating them on a buzzer-beater on Friday — there was one thing that stayed the same and that was the performance by Williams which was unforgettable to say the least.
