FW: Jason Williams?

["Simon Kean" <skean@atlasmail.com>]

My mistake....you meant J-a-s-o-n not, J-a-y-s-o-n.

Jason (rookie point guard) Williams from all reports and college games I saw
is a supreme ball handler with uncanny passing skills. A selective shooter
with good range and basically can do it all. His off the court problems are
his downside, and a big downside at that. Transfer from two schools and
eventually got kicked off the team at Florida on behavioural grounds.

Paul,

I had the pleasure/displeasure of seeing every Nets game either in person
(yes I was the one that went) or on cable over the last 2 seasons while I
was living in NY. Williams is all about hussle. He has no jumpshot, or
defined scoring game. The fact is though, he is an absolute monster on the
offensive boards and I would say at least 70% of his points are a result of
put-backs and dunks off rimmed-out shots by his cohorts. He played out of
position the last couple of years and is really a power forward instead of a
centre. His defensive capabilites a great too, which got him by in the
middle. If he is forced to remain playing centre though, I believe this
would cut short his career by a year or two.

In a way, our own DQ is basically a "C or D" grade version of this guy. Most
people know him from his big, but charming, mouth, but his game and heart
are pretty big too.

A basketball question! Can somebody who's seen him play a lot tell me about
Jason Williams' game? Apparently Jerry West wants him badly.
