Virtus Roma pursuing Nets drafteee Jordan Williams

Virtus Roma is pursuing Jordan Williams for the center position, according to sources.

On June 23, 2011 the New Jersey Nets drafted Williams with the 36th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.

During the 2011 NBA lockout, he agreed to play for the Polishteam Zastal Zielona Góra. However, the lockout ended before he played a game for them.
Williams was assigned to the Springfield Armor in January 2012. Later that month, Williams was recalled by the Nets.
On July 11, 2012, the Nets traded Williams, Johan Petro, Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow, and Deshawn Stevenson to the Atlanta Hawks for Joe Johnson. The Hawks requested waivers on Williams on September 17, 2012.
On August 28, 2013, he signed a one-year deal with Bilbao Basket. However, on September 8, he parted ways with the club.

Williams has played 43 games with the Nets in 2011-2012 averaging 4.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. Williams has also averaged 10.5 points and 7.7 rebounds with the Armor in D-League.

Last season the center did not play after he parted ways with Bilbao.
