Matt Williams is just one year removed from his time as a UCF Knight. This time last summer, the program's all-timer leader in threes was signing a two-way contract with the Miami Heat and getting set for the NBA Summer League in Orlando and Las Vegas.
Williams, who spent most of his season with the Heat's G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, made three appearances for Miami. He scored his first NBA points on Dec. 26 when he unsurprisingly connected on a three-pointer against his hometown Orlando Magic.
With the Skyforce, Williams averaged 10.2 points and 25.6 minutes per game, checking into 43 contests. He shot 38.9 percent from three-point range and made 124 from long distance, which ranked as the third most in a single-season for the Skyforce.
Williams recently participated in the ninth annual G League Elite Mini Camp. The May event was a chance to showcase in front of NBA team personnel.
To start the 2018-19 season, Williams will compete with the Chicago Bulls, joining the team for the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. The Summer League will feature all 30 NBA Teams from July 6-17.
