Fifty-nine picks came and went across two days of the NBA draft, and Brice Williams’ name wasn’t called.
The former Nebraska guard was projected to be a fringe second-round pick, on the edge of being a late selection and going undrafted. He’ll now move onto the open market, where he can sign with a team as an undrafted free agent.
A relatively common route for undrafted players is signing a two-way contract, which means they spend the season shuttling between an NBA team and its G League affiliate.
After going undrafted last summer, former Nebraska guard Keisei Tominaga signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Indiana Pacers, a minimum training camp deal with the potential to be converted into a two-way contract.
Williams put himself into draft considerations by averaging 20.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 37% from 3-point range in his second season at Nebraska. Within the season were two Big Ten player of the week honors and four 30-point games. He transferred to NU after four years at Charlotte before the 2023-24 season.
