The San Antonio Spurs have established a reputation for favoring high-effort, high-IQ players who embrace team-first roles. So it comes as no surprise that they have shown an affinity for Kenny Williams.
One of the best “lunch pail/blue collar” players in recent UNC history, Kenny signed a contract with San Antonio on Monday to become a member of the 20-man training camp roster. This comes after playing for the Spurs’ Summer League squads in both Utah and Las Vegas.
There is still work to be done for Kenny: NBA teams are allowed a roster of 15 NBA contract players along with two “two-way” players (who spend most of their time in the G-League in addition to regular squad duties).
