Williams contributed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-105 win over the Warriors.
It was somewhat of a surprise to see Williams win the Opening Night starting gig over Quentin Grimes, who started four of Los Angeles' five preseason games. Although Williams should hold streaming appeal while working with the first unit, he figures to have a tenuous hold on the role.
