MT GAMBIER PIONEERS MEDIA RELEASE
The 203cm, 97kg Williams graduated from La Salle University - the same university Barrett attended – where he averaged 13.8 points and 7.4 rebounds from 26 minutes as a starter.
Williams' most recent playing stint was in Germany, for USC Heidelberg in the ProA league, where he averaged 14.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in 20.3 minutes of court time.
Williams’ stats also include a career-high 36 points against the 5th ranked Webmoebel – which gave him the German ProA Player of the Week award – as well as 33 points against the top-ranked team in MBC.
Pioneers Vice-President Tom Kosch said the board was pleased to be able to sign Williams.
"The club’s management and coaching staff worked quickly to secure Jerrell to fill the vacant restricted spot within an extremely tight deadline," Kosch said. “The signing will offer balance to our team for the remainder of the season.”
