The Williams sisters, er, brothers

This (below) sounds just fine to me. Our team could
really benefit from an instinctive distributor, and
I'm not that worried about his supposed lack of
athleticism (it's not like our current roster is laden
with ath-a-letes) or defensive shortcomings (Delonte
and Tony can fill in situationally). 

The other guy I'd like to see Boston take is Shelden
Williams, who may never be an All-Star but would bring
toughness to our frontline, be ready to contribute
immediately and push Big Al. 

Assuming one of the Big Six slides, I'd take Aldridge
in a heartbeat (though I don't expect him to be
there).  Other than that, I have qualms about each of
the other guys who could slide.

The guy who really scares me in this draft is Foye.
The last thing Boston needs is another tweener guard.

Anyway, if the Cs could come out of this draft with
either of the Williams boys, I'd be a happy camper.

"The scout said Williams has exceptional guard skills,
really runs a team, was very good at advancing the
ball with the pass when at the advantage, owns great
court vision, is a great ballhandler with either hand,
a solid decision-maker and runs the pick and roll
well.   The scout said Williams was a solid
penetrator, doesn't settle for jumpers, takes the ball
to the rim, finishes well and uses change of speed
rather than quickness. The scout also said the UConn
junior is a solid rebounding point guard, has solid
strength and possesses great size.   The negatives?
The scout said Williams struggles in man-to-man
defense, lacks athleticism, and that weight might be
an issue late in his career. The positives strongly
outweigh the negatives."
