Oakland's Newest Reggie

The Dubs' D-Leaguer deluge continues! Scott Schroeder of Ridiculous Upside reports that the Warriors will be signing Reggie Williams to a ten-day contract on Tuesday. Williams, a 23-year-old VMI alum, is a offensive-minded three (he led the nation in scoring in both his junior and senior years), and will more than likely be playing the role of Corey Maggette for the next five games.

Schroeder likes the signing -- in fact, he thinks the team whiffed by choosing Cartier Martin over Williams back in January. In a January rundown of D-League prospects, BP's Kevin Pelton rated Williams as the league's most promising small forward and the league's most promising overall scorer. In 31 games with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Williams has scored efficiently (.576 FG%, .410 3P%, .824 FT%) and often (26.4 points per game). Reports on his D are mixed, and (per Pelton) his rebound rate doesn't translate well to the NBA. Still, as scrap-heap guys go, this seems like a good one.

The Warriors will surely get their money's worth out of him... Nellie gave Cartier 27.6 minutes a night, and Williams can actually get the ball in the basket, unlike Cartier. This DraftExpress description certainly makes the kid sound like he's up the fat man's alley. Williams isn't likely to outlast his contract, but if he posts some big nights, who knows? Maybe he'll finally convince the Dubs to abandon their sad delusions of Raja Bell being either able or willing to help them next year.
