The Austin Toros of the NBA Development League have acquired guard Jay Williams and waived guard Melvin Scott.

Williams, 6-2, 195, was the second overall selection in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls and was the recipient of the 2002 Naismith and Wooden Awards following his final season at Duke, given annually to the nation?s best collegiate basketball player . Williams led Duke to the national championship in 2001 and was a two-time Associated Press first-team All-America selection.

He is continuing his basketball comeback after severing a nerve in his leg, fracturing his pelvis and tearing three of the four main ligaments in his left knee in a motorcycle crash in June of 2003. Williams reports to the Toros on Sunday and will play for former NBA great Dennis Johnson, in his second season as head coach at Austin.
