The Hornets have moved on from missing out on Gordon Hayward and signed former Jazz teammate Marvin Williams as a consolation prize. Okay so maybe it isn’t the same signing as Hayward would be for a guy that’s underachieved from the moment he was drafted, but Williams overall has been a solid NBA player.

Williams was drafted 2nd overall in the 2005 NBA draft by Atlanta. He was selected before players like Chris Paul and Deron Williams and to say Atlanta missed on their draft pick is an understatement. Williams signed a 2 year $14 million dollar deal, I think Williams is being overpaid at $7 million a year but it’s only for two years.
