Williams was a star off the bench in La La Land for the Clippers this season, leading the team in scoring with 22.6 points per game. He also shot just under 36 percent from downtown, as well as 88 percent at the free-throw line.
The 31-year-old parlayed this year's success into a three-year, $24-million extension with the Clippers.
