He gots a good 3 point shot.
why not the guy produces every time he is in the game and he is a legit 6'8. Could his time on the court make anything worse? With our injuries I say give the guy some consistent playing time.. any thoughts?

he's got decent moves in the post too. i hope pop gives him some burn, i think he has a little something left in the tank
At this point, we need any spark we can get from the bench. Since, the other bench players are not bringing it, why not give Eric a chance.
I would love to see Eric Williams more. In fact, when the trade went down, I actually thought FO was targeting Williams and not Bonner.
Williams have decent offensive moves, have range, and can defend better than any perimeter player the Spurs have outside of Bowen, so it makes NO sense not to play him consistent minutes.
I never thought this season would get to a "play Eric Williams" thread. That's terrible.
sad isn't it
Actually, I always thought there were situations where Williams might be able to help out, but it seems Pop has already made up his mind.
Play him, trade him or waive him.
Williams would've worked perfect VS Dallas.
Also would've fit good vs Atlanta and other teams.
Fans on this forum wanted just as bad for Pop to play Vaughn more. In his limited time he's been just as inconsistent as Beno, except that his offense has been atrocious. Take that as a lesson: The grass ISN'T always greener on the other side.
Everyone knows that Vaughn has no offense. His defense and decision making are what got him time over Beno. I'd still rather play Vaughn at this point.
Well we were able to see this first hand with Vaughn however could playing Williams make things any worse? We won't know until he actually gets a chance to play.. we are -6-7 for our last 13 games andI have to think back to pre 1999 to ever rememeber a worst stretch for the Spurs..
He's still turnover prone and his "defense" is more accurately described as "energy". Just because he runs up and down the court doesn't mean he stops his man from scoring.
*SSSSHHHHHHH!!!* That CIA Pop is at it again!
Don't reveal the secret weapon people!
I'm just saying, be careful what you ask for. He has looked decent in short stretches, but what if that is a farse.
Say he gets playing time and performs decently enough that the Spurs think twice about unloading his contract for someone else. Are you really going to trust his play in the short term for him to be a key factor in the playoff run?
Nah, he playes better D than Beno. That's all.
Why not? Any improvement from Finley or Barry is probably going to be short term too, so what's the difference?
Play him, trade him or waive him.
Hey, you'll get no disagreement from me that any of the three mentioned are inconsistent. That's why I made the remark in the James White thread about him at least being YOUNG and inconsistent.
I'm a big proponent of the "trade him" idea...just don't know what the Spurs get in return (backup pg, rebounding?).
We couldn't trade James White for anything more than garbage. I don't think he sweetens any potential deals either. At least let him go in the dunk contest in a Spurs jersey - that's about as useful as he is going to be for the Spurs any time this decade
I am all for Williams playing, I am sick of the other bags Pop plays.
I basically agree, although I think he can be a good defender. I do think he could be worth popping up some spots in the 2nd round somewhere.
I'm starting the Marcus Dove bandwaggon right now. No offense, pure defense. Strong and physical, athletic, at times kind of mean. Gave Durant some trouble.
A Marcus Dove that learns to stay out of foul trouble would be a great addition. He's just the kind of guy to go overlooked in the draft as well.
Marcus Dove BANDWAGON IN EFFECT! He has all the tools to be a monster defender.
Williams was having a stellar game against the Bucks a few weeks ago, and Pop decided to reward him by sitting him on the bench for the fourth. We lost the game.
Poopavitch is a -for-brains. He should be playing Eric Williams more and I also think he should be giving Jackie Butler some minutes. You never know when we'll need him because of an injury to someone else, and if he has no minutes?
The 99 season actually started terribly(was it 6-8 after 14 games?), people were asking for Pop's head. It turned out pretty good, I'd say
