The Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball team was hoping that it would get at least one player drafted on Wednesday or Thursday night. The Huskers’ best chance for that to happen was Brice Williams. Some mock drafts had the man who averaged over 20 points a game in his final season in Lincoln going in the second round. So there wasn’t much concern when he didn’t go in the first.
However, as Thursday night came and went, Williams’ name wasn’t called. So now he hopes he can go the relatively common route for undrafted players in 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 Cornhuskers basketball 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. It stands to reason that some NBA team will take the same kind of flyer on Brice Williams and there certainly could be a line of teams wanting the chance to lock him down now that the NBA Draft is over.
Nebraska Cornhuskers’ strength coach is waiting for football players to take charge
Nebraska football strength and conditioning coach Corey Campbell believes the team is entering a new phase of its development. Rather than a phase where players follow the standard and merely imitate what they’ve been told, they take charge and enforce the standard. What’s more, Campbell believes that the players doing this means that they’re ready to graduate from good to great.
