According to Wojnarowski, Williams will oversee player development, agent relations and recruiting.  His short NBA career included stints with the Warriors in 1997-98, the Spurs in 1998-99 and the Hawks in 2002-03.

CSN Philly mentions that Williams' duties will be similar to what he had already been doing. Sam Hinkie made Williams one of his first hires when he was brought on in 2013.
