Williams (knee) will open the 2014-15 season as the Bobcats' starting power forward, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Coach Steve Clifford made the call during Monday's media day, leaving just one starting spot up to the preseason performance of Gerald Henderson and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. In 50 starts with the Jazz last year, Williams contributed 9.3 points (on 44 percent shooting), 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 threes, 1.2 assists, and 0.8 steals in 26 minutes per game. Similar run should be expected with 2013 first-round pick, Cody Zeller, behind Williams on the depth chart.
