According to Dan Feldman of Probasketballtalk.com the Denver Nuggets added another piece to their roster for the 2014-2015 season by signing former San Antonio Spurs and NBA D-League Forward Marcus Williams to a one year Contract today.  Williams was drafted by the Spurs in 2007 out of Arizona University and played very sparingly in his stints with the Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA before heading to the Chinese League.  Williams was a Chinese League All Star in 2011 while playing for the Zhejiang Wanma Cyclones.  He was an All-NBA D-League player in 2009 and also was on the D-League All Star team in 2009.  He has only played in 13 NBA games in his career but was a stalwart in the Chinese League until his 6 month suspension for Marijuana in January of 2013.  He will compete for a roster spot on the Nuggets with newcomers Jerrelle Benimon and Erick Green and returning forward Quincy Miller as the Nuggets only have 13 guaranteed Contracts on their roster with 15 spots available.
