Aaron Williams

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 26, 1993, the same day it waived Dave Jamerson — the club had decided it needed a big man to cover for the injured David Benoit.
