The Portland Trailblazers select Elliot Williams in the first round
The Trailblazers have picked 21-year old shooting guard Elliot Williams with the 22nd overall pick in the NBA Draft. Williams is rail thin at 6′5″, 180 pounds but he can put the ball in the basket. He played in 34 games (all starts) for Memphis last season and he averaged 17.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Williams played in 68 games (46 starts) in his two years in college and he averaged 11.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Williams will be Brandon Roy’s backup in 2010-11 so he won’t have any pressure right away.
