Marcus Williams is a 6 foot 7 inch Sophmore wing player for Arizona. He can handle the ball, is a good passer and a go-to scorer. He needs to add strength to his frame to prepare for the pounding in the NBA.

Currently, DE has him at #8 and nbadraft.net has him at #9

In his first game of the season, Marcus scored 18 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and fouled out. There is a lot of talent on this AZ team, so Marcus likely won't have a huge scoring average this season.

Marcus Williams is my favorite player to watch in college. I just like how smooth he is.

I love his game to. Just got to put on some weight. Shaping into a strong draft if all the Fresmen come out. If they don't i see him being in the top 5. His game kind of remind me of Roy and Joe Johnson but without the passing skills(althought he has some)

Man that kid looked great on Sunday night against Virginia. He is legit. He's very confident with his jump shot. I wouldn’t say he is a freak athlete like (nowhere near) Iguodala, but he has enough athleticism. He had a sweet reverse dunk. His shot is smooth too. That Arizona team is LOADED. I'm just glad they don’t play D lol. No way he stays another year in college.

He is definitely a going to be a player.

Anyone else think this kid's stock has gone down? IMO, Shakur has played much better this year than in year's past, which has kind of taken looks away from Williams and then Radenovic and Budinger have played well also. I've seen several of Arizona's games this season, and almost every time I watch, he either ends up in foul trouble or gets overshadowed by one of the above mentioned guys.

I had a conversation similar to this with Tucsop clip in the Alando Tucker thread. Williams IMO has been disappointing this year, whilst Shakur has looked really solid. To me he can be very passive, the talent is there though.

I think Williams has a lot of game, but this is a story of Arizona having way more talent this year, than last year (and less chemistry problems). For one, Budinger is there. Secondly, Shakur, McClellan and Radenovic finally decided not to underachieve.

I think Williams will shine on the pro level.

Yeah, I think M-Will is struggling a bit with so many cooks in the kitchen. They are all good cooks, but Williams is probably the best, and doesn't get the majority of the looks. He sure is tearing it up today though, keeping the Lopez twins and Stanford from pulling off the upset.

Anybody got any thoughts on Brook and Robin?

Well the thing about the Lopez twins you could see in this game, Arizona crowded the paint (and if Stanford had better guard play, they may have been closer). The Lopez's are big and physical and can finish around the hoop. I say if they refine their skills around the basket, they will be a top 10 team next year and should be first round picks.

They look better than the Collins twins at the same stage because they have more athleticism. They seem like they could actually be counted on to contribute offense at the pro level.
