Elliot Williams

/A scout friend gave me, what I think is the greatest analogy. If Jerryd Bayless is Jarrett Jack on steroids, then Elloitt Williams is Jerryd Bayless on steroids

That sounds like a promising endorsement then. Bayless is a rotation player at this moment. Admittedy, I've never seen him play, as I generally avoid college hoops. From the youtube clips I've seen, the guy is probably pretty raw but he shows NBA skills. Ability to create his own shot is huge. He's shown pull-up skills from deep, and step back moves. Supposedly, he's a dedicated hard worker. Wouldnt be at all surprised if he earns minutes this year. The second unit still needs scoring, especially if Rudy is shipped out for a draft pick. If he can defend, I think Nate will play him. His ceiling seems higher than our other supporting guys. If he can find a way to finish at the rim, I think he's a definite keeper. Definitely one to watch.

Williams got on the court as a freshman at Duke solely on his defense. I'm sure Nate will find some time for him in the rotation this season.

Bullseye. Since Johnson's college performance also marks him as a bit of a Tweener, it seems a strange duplication of skill sets.

Johnson? Armon is a good sized PG and played exclusively at PG in college... do you mean Williams?

Sorry. I was refering to the fact that Williams supposedly handled the ball a lot for a SG, but wasn't actually playing a PG role. I never saw him play, so I am just going off of reports I'd read.
