Pacers President Larry Bird shakes Troy Williams’ hand after the workout.
Troy Williams, who’s played the last three seasons in Bloomington, was one of six draft hopefuls to take part in the Pacers’ first pre-draft workout Tuesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Williams, 21, just completed his junior year at Indiana University and says he has an internship and “a class or two left” to earn his undergraduate degree.
He has not yet decided whether he will remain in the 2016 NBA Draft, and he has until May 25th to decide. He says he’ll lean heavily on his support system: uncle Boo Williams, aunt Terri Williams-Flournoy, and basketball trainer John Lucas.
For now, he’s “50-50.” He has workouts scheduled with the Clippers (Wednesday), Lakers (Thursday), and Pelicans (May 23rd).
After his workout with the Pacers, Williams spoke with the media. Watch highlights of the interview below:
