The Brooklyn Nets have signed, drafted, and traded for players from virtually every state in the US, and much of the wider world beyond the United States. From Alabama to Wyoming, and from Australia to Ukraine, the Nets have a long and distinguished history of turning over every stone to find the talent needed to succeed in the NBA.
From their start in the American Basketball Association (ABA) as the New Jersey Americans and New York Nets to their jump to the NBA as the New Jersey Nets right through to today, the organization has cast their net for talent wide since the inception of the ball club.
For this installment of our series documenting the provenience of every Nets player to suit up for the franchise, let's take a look at every player from Arizona who has played for Brooklyn.
Our focus in this article is Alan Williams. An alum of North High School (Phoenix) UC Santa Barbara, he went unselected in the 2015 NBA Draft, signing with the Phoenix Suns instead.
The Phoenix, Arizona native played the first 3 seasons of his pro career with the Suns, coming to an end when he signed with the Brooklyn Nets in 2018. His stay with the team lasted until he was cut the next year.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, Williams put up 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
