label: Description
content: Nate was selected first in the 1971 “hardship” draft, a supplemental draft that allowed college underclassmen to play professional basketball due to the 1971 Supreme Court case <i>Haywood v. NBA</i>. Williams would play in the NBA until 1979 with the Kings, the Cincinnati Royals, New Orleans Jazz, and Golden State Warriors. Thanks to a mid-season trade in the 1974-75 campaign, Williams played 85 games that season, instead of the standard 82 games.
