2019 Player Capsules: Johnathan Williams

Season Summary
A few days into the season, the Lakers realized that they had a need for a defensive-minded center. Enter Johnathan Williams — an undrafted rookie from their summer league team that they subsequently inked to a two-way contract.

While Williams spent most of the season in the G League, he certainly had his moments up in the NBA.

His defense was formidable, particularly in his first game of his career, when his three blocks were key in an overtime battle with San Antonio.
