NBA D-League Player Rankings Week 10

A familiar face has returned to our D-League Player Rankings with D-League Digest — Elliot Williams re-joined the Santa Cruz Warriors following his 10-day contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, and proceeded to light the league on fire over his first two games back. Both of those games were double overtime victories against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, and Williams averaged an incredible 42 points, seven assists and six rebounds in those contests.

There were additional shakeups at the top of the ranks. On Tuesday morning, Shams Charania of Yahoo reported that the Utah Jazz will ink electric guard Erick Green to a 10-day contract. Yesterday, Dennis Silva revealed that Bryce Cotton was no longer with the Austin Spurs. U&M followed that report by learning Cotton had signed in China.
