Jay Williams Signs Deal With Nets

Sep 28, 2006 1:36 PM EST

The New Jersey Nets have signed free agent guard Jay Williams, Nets President Rod Thorn announced today. As per club policy, terms of the deal were not released.

Originally drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls, Williams averaged 9.5 points, 4.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.15 steals in 75 contests during the 2002-03 season. Following his rookie campaign, in which he was named to the NBA’s All-Rookie Second Team, Williams sustained severe leg and hip injuries in a motorcycle accident and has not appeared in an NBA contest since.

The 6-2 Williams spent three seasons at Duke (’00-’02) where he helped lead the Blue Devils to a NCAA men’s basketball championship in 2001 and was named the Wooden award winner in 2002.
