The Lakers former player can t make it in the Japanese league anymore. Will he switch to the British league next season?

According to European basketball media Eurohoops reporter Johnny Askounis, former NBA player Johnathan Williams III has completed the signing of the British league team London Lions. Williams, an inside player who graduated from Gonzaga University, was born on May 22, 1995. He is 30 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 103kg. He was the undraft in the 2018 NBA Draft. Although he was a undrafter, Williams received a contract from the Lakers after the draft. Shortly before the 2018-19 NBA regular season began, Williams received a two-way contract from the Lakers and became an NBA player. Williams has played for both the Lakers and the Washington Wizards in the NBA. He has played 39 times in the NBA regular season, averaging 14.1 minutes per game, averaging 5.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He also had 0.5 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 58.3% from the field, 0% from three-point shooting percentage and 55.7% from free throws. After leaving the NBA, Williams has also played in leagues in many countries. He has played in the Israeli League, Turkish League, Bundesliga, Serie A, Japan B League and the Philippines Governor's Cup. Last season, Williams played for the Japanese B League team Chiba Jets. He played 17 games for the team, averaging 31.7 minutes per game, with an average of 11.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 62.8%, three-point shooting percentage 10%, and free throw shooting percentage 48.2%.

Williams' performance in the Japanese league last season was actually quite average. He did not show enough competitiveness. He did not play more roles on the court. His scoring ability was not exerted. He could play a certain role in passing and supporting, but this could not change the fact that his scoring ability was insufficient. Williams can play a certain effect on the defensive end, but it cannot be considered a particularly outstanding level. Perhaps it is because his performance in the Japanese league cannot meet expectations, and Williams still has no way to get a contract from the Japanese team again this summer and continue to stay in the Japanese arena. Williams has never appeared in the British League before, and he has been away from the European arena for many years. I wonder what Williams will perform this time when he returns to the European arena. Will he have the opportunity to show his strength and get the attention of higher-level teams in the future?
