The 6-foot-10 Williams, who led the Boilermakers in assists last season, has signed with the Boston Celtics and will play in the Las Vegas summer league.  Williams appeared in 130 games, including 60 starts. During his career, Williams averaged 10.8 points and 7.0 rebounds.

He was named the Big Ten’s Sixth Man of the Year and earned third-team all-conference honors following his senior season. After his junior year, Williams was selected first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches.
 -Per NBC Sports

Here are some highlights from last season at Purdue. Quite the skillset.. Al would be a great mentor for this kid.

Not seeing any details at this point. I thought guys get invited to summer league, but don't necessarily
sign. Maybe it's a 2 way?

What’s your scouting report on him? From what little I’ve seen of Trevion, his passing looked impressive, especially for a big man. Some crafty moves in the paint, too. Im intrigued.

From what I saw in highlights his passing is extraordinary, but he looks 30 lbs overweight, so he’s slow and methodical. If he could lose some weight …

10% body fat isn't bad but he does need to get in NBA shape. The passing is top notch.

this was posted by CFAN38 in another thread that included TW. TW looks to be a low ceiling guy who could contribute a bit off the bench. but keeping up with faster players will be a challenge for him. he is slow.

I don't think dropping another 25lbs is in the cards he has already lost a lot of weight since starting at Purdue. He was at 10.8%BF at the combine and 265lbs. Maybe he gets under 260 but that will be as light as I could see and like Sullinger its not commend for heavy framed bigs to keep weight down during the season. This is likely the lightest Williams will be.

I will say Williams joining the team needs to be kept in perspective if he makes the roster and takes Kornets roster spot I like the fit. If anyone envisions him eventually taking Theis's spot that's a problem. Williams is a play right away low ceiling reguare season big man, where someone like Makur Maker is a high ceiling low floor big who may be able to develop into a switching 7'. Personally I'd be fine signing Williams to a cheap deal for multiple non-guaranteed years. Then take a swing on Maker or Butler Jr on a 2-way.

Thanks for the info. TP. Did he, by any chance, look to be in better shape at the combine? The highlights I saw were from Purdue. He looked heavier than 10.8% body fat, but who knows. Just curious if he’s already trimmed down some.

Impressive passing skills.  Al's replacement down the road.  I wish!
