OT: Jay Williams

Remember him? He was the #2 pick by Chicago, wrecked his leg in a motorcycle accident and was out of basketball. The New York Times recently ran an in-depth article about his injury, rehab, and rebuilding his life. Interesting read.

Amazing how one stupid decision completely ended his career. I don't think he would have ever lived up to the hype that he had at Duke, but he was still a good player.

He was drafted way too high. Was hyped by Chicago and given a green light. He had trouble with the NBA game and couldn't shoot. He had a lot of work ahead of him just to become an average starter. Not sure what would have happened to his career if he hadn't busted his leg.

They could have drafted Nene, Amare or Caron Butler. It was a weird draft though.
