Draft Prospect: Marcus Williams

[T Park]

Sounds good to me. Would you be happy with a second round pick that could turn into that?

Damn straight.

Better put some meat on 'dem bones.

He'll be a shooting guard for the Spurs. He's a solid 6-7/6-8, 200/205 pounds. That's a lot better than the 6-7/6-8, 180/185 when he arrived on campus.

People forget that Bruce is 6'7 200.... Barry is 6'7 210.... Manu is 6'6 205.... Flight is 6'7 200.... Only guy like that we have at the 2/3 that's bigger is Fin at 6'7 225

As for Marcus at PG, it will work, so long as there's someone there who'll make the buckets when Marcus passes. That, and he'll need some structure. Set plays for him, let him develop habits. He's certainly no freewheeler...

If nobody makes the open shots he generates, that's when he'll start to revert. That's his main bad habit on the court. The Arizona teams of the past two seasons have had horrendous outside shooting.

Marcus was a passable backup point for a stretch of about 6 games when Nic Wise was injured for a mediocre NCAA team. I'm all for his potential at the 2/3 but to say that he could run the point for us is really really stretching it.

I didn't say for the Spurs. I said for the Summer League team. Context... That quote was in response to a statement or question relating to Marcus during summer league play.

I said he's a SG for the Spurs, but he's a SG who can swing to SF for occasions and maybe defend various 1-2-3 spots, and, when the PF is like Marion, Diaw, or any other smallish four, even that spot.

He'll obviously need to add some strength, but in two year's he's added 20 pounds of muscle. I'm guessing he can add another 10-to-15 pounds.
