Wow. That's a dece signing. We have now signed 2 incredibly solid and legit rookies in the last couple of weeks. Both were early 2nd round picks and both could've gone first. I really like this signing and am very pleased. It doesn't mean much, but Williams has a ton of potential and could make some real noise in training camp next year, maybe even make the 08-09 team if Dunleavy can adjust his attitude. To Dunleavy's credit, as bad of a coach as he is, he is pretty good at quashing bad attitudes (ala Sam Cassell).
