During his exit interview Monday, Williams said he's feeling good and healthy entering the offseason, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams missed Sunday's regular-season finale to manage a left foot injury, though it was likely a precaution.

He ended the regular season with 44 appearances, posting averages of 15.3 points on 60.4 percent shooting, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game.
