PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Trail Blazers have selected Memphis swingman Elliot Williams with the 22nd pick in the NBA draft.
Williams averaged 17.9 points, 4 rebounds and 3.8 assists with the Tigers last season as a sophomore after transferring from Duke.
The Blazers also traded Martell Webster to Minnesota in exchange for 16th overall pick Luke Babbitt of Nevada, according to people close to the negotiations on both sides.
Babbitt, a 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward, averaged 21.9 points and 8.9 rebounds for the Wolf Pack before deciding to leave school after his sophomore year.
