After going undrafted on Thursday night, TCU forward Kenrich Williams will play for the Denver Nuggets in summer league, Horned Frogs coach Jamie Dixon told Zagsblog's Adam Zagoria.

The 6-foot-8 senior is capable of making an impact on the professional level. He's a hard-nosed defensive player and should provide solid shooting from behind the arc, hitting 37.5 percent of his threes over three seasons at TCU.

There are concerns about his age, as he enters the draft at 23 years old with a history of injury troubles. Regardless, Williams made the second-team All-Big 12 this season, averaging 13.2 points, 9.3 boards, and 3.9 assists. He may lack the upside of most prospects, but there's a place in the NBA for a versatile athlete that can play either forward position.

What the analysts are saying

  • "An unheralded but steady all-around player, Kenrich Williams was a reliable floor presence over the course of his TCU career. He joined the Horned Frogs after a year of JUCO ball and took a medical redshirt for the 2015-16 season after having microfracture surgery on his knee. Williams bounced back athletically and production-wise and emerged as a potential draft sleeper given his advanced feel for the game." - Jeremy Woo, Sports Illustrated
