Frank Williams joins the Sioux Falls Skyforce
The
Sioux Falls Skyforce have been in the CBA for years and are preparing for their first season in the NBA Development League. On the
roster is former University of Illinois Fighting Illini standout
Frank Williams. He was drafted by the Skyforce in the third round, and returning coach Mo McHone said "
I never dreamed he would still be there in the third round."
As regular readers of this blog will know, Wonk is located in Sioux Falls and now plans to start attending more Skyforce games.
Rumor has it that he's a little out of shape after not playing for a while, but will be expected to put in quite a bit of time at the point guard spot. For a video report on the Skyforce training camp (with a few brief glimpses of Williams), click

So, along with the coverage of Illinois hoops that you have come to expect, you will also receive periodic updates on the play of Frank Williams. The season tips off November 24.
