Athletes - Frank Williams


Frank Lowell Williams (born February 25, 1980 in Peoria, Illinois) is a professional basketball player. As a point guard, Williams starred at both the high school and collegiate levels, but he has struggled to find a place in the NBA.

Williams attended Manual High School in Peoria, Illinois. He helped his team win two IHSA class AA boys state basketball tournaments, in 1996 as a sophomore and again in 1997 as a junior. In both tournaments, Williams was named to the five-player All-Tournament team. After high school, Williams attended the University of Illinois, and played three seasons for the Fighting Illini, leading the team to a string of NCAA Tournament appearances. After the 2000-2001 season, Williams was named the Big Ten player of the year, and received the Chicago Tribune Silver Basketball award.

The New York Knicks acquired Williams in a draft-day trade in 2002 from the Denver Nuggets. He played sparingly in his first season, but found a bit more time on the court during the first half of the 2003-04 season. Unfortunately, new GM Isiah Thomas
then traded for star point guard Stephon Marbury
, and Frank was relegated back to the end of the bench. The Chicago Bulls acquired him as part of a multi-player trade in the next off-season, but Williams showed up to training camp out of shape, and he spent most of the 2004-05 season on the injured reserve. Dissatisfied with his effort, the team announced that he would not be re-signed for the next season. Frank Williams signed with the Los Angeles Clippers on October 1, 2005 but was released 4 days later.
