Aaron Williams

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Aaron Williams: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

Xavier's undrafted big man got his first NBA shot from the Jazz in 1993–94 — and turned it into fourteen seasons across ten franchises. His peak came with New Jersey in 2000–01: all 82 games, 10.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, plus a league-leading 319 personal fouls, an honest workman's stat line. In 2004 he was part of the blockbuster trade that brought Vince Carter to the Nets.

After a professional career spanning fifteen years, with detours through the CBA, Italy and Greece, he went home to Xavier, spending part of the 2011–12 season as a temporary assistant coach at his alma mater in Cincinnati.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah signed him on November 29, 1993, three days after it waived Dave Jamerson — the club had decided it needed a big man to cover for the injured David Benoit.
