Looking forany autographMarvin 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 Marvin 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.
Williams never started a game in his lone North Carolina season, yet his tip-in broke a 70-70 tie in the closing minutes of the 2005 NCAA final and sent the Tar Heels to the championship. Drafted second overall by Atlanta, he gave the Hawks seven seasons before a 2012 trade for Devin Harris brought him to Utah, where he spent two steady years at forward.
Bremerton, Washington raised him, and service traveled with him — Atlanta twice gave him its Jason Collier Memorial Trophy for community work. He spent six seasons in Charlotte and finished with Milwaukee, retiring in 2020.
HOW HE CAME & WENTAtlanta traded him to Utah for Devin Harris on July 11, 2012, a salary-clearing move for the Hawks that gave the Jazz a wing they lacked. He signed a two-year deal with Charlotte in free agency in 2014.
