I agree. Anyone saying Williams is not a real point is crazy. He may be the
best since Magic & Isaiah. He can really take over a game. Bell is not as
pure of a point but has an awesome Iversonque crossover and outside range. I
would take him over any point we have on the roster.  Although I don't think
we will be looking at either unless we really suck big time.
