UNC basketball alum Jawad Williams is clearly a well-liked member of the coaching staff in Sacramento.
Former four-year UNC basketball forward Jawad Williams retired as a player in the Japanese B.League two years ago. The 2005 Tar Heel national champion, who went undrafted following his senior campaign that year and spent most of his career overseas, then remained in Japan as an assistant for a year before joining the Sacramento Kings staff as a player development coach last July.
“I’m thankful for the opportunity, Coach Brown has given me a chance to grow and learn this game even more.”And on Saturday, in Williams' debut as a head coach at any level, albeit in a temporary role, his Sacramento Kings 2 squad notched a 108-94 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the Golden State Warriors' Chase Center.
On Sunday, though, the Kings 2 fell to the Miami Heat, 102-86, dropping Williams to 1-1 when sitting in the lead seat. The UNC basketball program's 2004-05 All-ACC Third Team selection and his bunch of young NBA/G League talents wrap up their California Classic Summer League slate when they face the Warriors at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday .Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of FanNation's Blue Devil Country and All Tar Heels, covering the Duke Blue Devils and UNC Tar Heels on SI.com.
