'It's a great story for all': How Kenrich Williams' path to the NBA has generated yet another wave of optimism for TCU

FORT WORTH -- TCU basketball may not be known as program that regularly churns out NBA-caliber talent, but the Horned Frogs have been given a taste of that satisfaction this season.

Former Horned Frogs guard Kenrich Williams -- less than a year removed from his playing days in Fort Worth -- posted a career-night for the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, albeit in a 105-99 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Williams racked up a career-high 21 points, just 24 hours after recording 16 rebounds in a win over the Houston Rockets.

And for TCU head coach Jamie Dixon, all he could do was sit back and smile from afar as one of his former players -- after having the odds stacked against him more than once -- continued to live out a career-dream.
