Ford: Williams One of the Steals of the Draft

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With the summer leagues finally over, ESPN's Chad Ford has completed his annual roundup of the good and bad he's seen around the country. Not surprisingly, Marcus Williams is one of two players Ford cites as "steals" of the draft...the other being Boston point guard Rajon Rondo. Ford also has nice things to say about the progress of Antoine Wright and Josh Boone who he admits played better than he expected</div>

It was a great move by the Nets to finally take Williams. He will learn a ton from Jason Kidd. I don't know how much time Rondo will get with Bassy and Delonte there.

Marcus Williams is a Jkidd clone.

Not really. Sure he's a pure PG, but he doesn't have the speed/quickness Kidd has, nor the defensive capabilities. And he can't rebound as well.

i really like rondo i hope he works into the rotation

Huh? Rondo is not on our team. Read the article over.

I wasn't really impressed by Rondo. He's a good defensive point gaurd, but as far as offense and running an offense goes, he's below average. He's kinda like Jacque Vaughn, in my opinion. Maybe a bit better, but Vaughn was great for Kansas.

As for Marcus Williams, he has vision, but needs to push up the IQ a bit more and work on his tim in the clutch. He won't get many opportunities to be the man in the clutch this year, but watching how Jason handles every night will be a big PLUS, as we know Jason is the best point gaurd in the clutch. Take that, Nash.
