Snubbed In Draft, Justin Williams May Get Shot With Kings

Although former Wyoming standout Justin Williams wasn't picked in Wednesday's NBA draft, his agent says he will get a chance to play professional ball with the Sacramento Kings.

Darren White, Williams' agent, told the Casper Star-Tribune on Thursday that Williams will play in the NBA's Toshiba Vegas Summer League with the Kings.

Kings coach Eric Musselman talked with White and Williams near the end of Wednesday's draft. Musselman said that Williams' defense could be valuable to Sacramento.

"We talked with coach Musselman, and he spoke very highly of (Williams)," White said.
