Thumbs down Why I DON'T want Marcus Williams

He's a decent enough player, but -
I feel his assist totals are hugely inflated by the system he plays in. Connecticut LED THE NCAA in Field Goals per game. It is a chicken and egg situation, and certainly MW contributed to UConn's success. But UConn is always successful, without MW at the helm

National Champs with Taliek Brown 2 years ago logging 6.7 apg. Taliek Brown?

How about Khalid El-Amin? Really quite similar to MW. How did that turn out?

MW has a nice outside shot, and he certainly is a fine field general. His size is also good. I'm sure pretty he will be a little better than Khalid, and he might be another Deron Williams. Who is not, as so many argued he would be, the next Jason Kidd.

I always worry about the quickness of a PG who fails to manage even 1 spg at the NCAA level. Especially when playing in a system with so many possessions per game.

He is really liable to be a reach pick, because of the lack of other PGs.
