Re: Shammond Williams

I like Williams a lot more than Palacio or El-Amin. I don't see how we could
fit him unless the recently acquired Roshown Mcleod or Anderson were to be
moved. I don't see why we need another 3 in Mcleod. If they really wanted
Williams, why didn't we sing him instead of Palacio? Williams has more
offensive potential than Palacio.
