Which PG can Marcus Williams develop into in the NBA?

I think that Marcus Williams can develop into a Deron Williams type of player. They are pretty much the same size at  6"3 205-210lbs. MW is a pass first type of player like DW and share the same PG skills. MW didn't do so well in NJ but will he shine in Nellies offense? I think MW just needs a little more playing time so he can develop into a good PG. MW has the skills to do it as he showed it in college. This kid has talent, without a doubt. all he needs is a team who beleives in him, and a coach who is willing to develop him. Nelson is notorious in developing young talent. nash, nowitzki, howard, daniels, ELLIS. GUYS LIKE DAVIS, JACKSON AND HARRINGTON HAVE BEEN REVIVED UNDER HIM. MW needs to get in shape ready to run if he wants to do good in Nellies offense. Can MW start as PG and move ellis back at SG if Nellie is comfortable? Can MW deveop into a DW type of player or better?

Marcus Williams = Deron Williams

Marcus Williams = Deron Williams

  Is this a new form of math? Reject =allstar?
    If Williams can put together two season of DRon like performance then the equation might make sense. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting though, if he showed DRon skills I don’t think they woulda traded him?

a poor mans jason kidd

he will never be deron williams. BUT i think he will be a poor mans jason kidd. if you can come up with a direct comparison yes, but his shooting skills are no where near dwillz. 9pts 8asts 4.5rebs average season stats.

whoa

You really think he could average 8 apg in a backup role?

by 15thefuture8 on Aug 26, 2008 8:48 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

that’s definitely too high for this year. maybe that can be a stat line in a couple years, but for now, no way.

Rod Strickland - lite

I think he has a chance to become a player like Rod. Rod was never a great shooter and it definitely isn’t a strength of Williams. If he’s able to consistantly get to the hoop, finish and/or distribute, he could fit into this mold.

Sure Nelson develos but all of those players benifitted from his system. nelson never plays rookies and look how he did with c-webb

he develops talent

that is worth developing. brandon wasn’t ready last year, but he’ll get some burn this year. marco was bad, just awful and shows no signs that he’ll be in the nba for long. i also wonder why you would say that he does develop players and then say it is only because of his system, as though that takes something away from what he’s done. maximizing the abilities of players is what i want my coach to do, if they leave and can’t duplicate the success outside of the system, so be it.

and marcus williams isn’t a rookie, so that last bit you wrote really isn’t relevant to marcus at all.

I can see the Deron Williams comparison

Marcus Williams can be somewhat of a poor man’s Deron. It’s just that MW doesn’t play in a system that puts emphasis in running pick and rolls with a 20/10 all-star PF.

I’m not saying that Marcus would be just as good as DW if he played for Jerry Sloan, but with this running style of offense he’ll hopefully showcase some great passing.

and that he doesn’t have deron’s shot, or court vision. they play different styles of basketball, they just have similar body types.

so in theory,

a homeless man’s DW.

A black Steve Nash.

He won’t be as great a scorer, but he has very good court vision.

A black Steve Nash.

 Would look pretty funny.

D Will will be D-Will.

Deron has an opportunity to be a very important 6th or 7th man for our team. This kid was the starting pg on good UCONN teams just a few years ago. Last I checked UCONN produces some good NBA players( Rip, Butler, R. Allen, Okafur, and B. Gordan) are all at least decent players. He will have a huge chip on his shoulder which is always good motivation for a young player. And he is a Cali guy, so maybe he plays better closer to home. And Nellie likes skilled players on the court. He needs to work on getting into ball shape because he hasn’t played a ton on games the past 2 years, so he is fresh and thats another bonus. If he puts in some hard work and gets on Nelson good side he can have a chance to earn good bench mins. and have a break-out season.

Right now he is the only true PG on the team

I think being the only true PG on the Warriors right now will give MW much better opportunities than he had in Jersey. We all know the potential he showed in Jersey and we should feel lucky that Mullin was smart enough to nab him for such a cheap price while the Nets had their fire sale. This kid was a steal and I think he is going to show us some great stuff, but in Golden State he is going to be a completely different style of PG than Deron WIlliams.

Just another wack example of......

comparing a player to another player by the similar physical appearance. doesn’t anthony randolph sorta look like lebron james?

by nuttinbutnet on Aug 27, 2008 9:20 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

doesn’t anthony randolph sorta look like lebron james?

 to the extent that they both walk upright.

They...

…bear a passing physical resemblance. Also, the Nets learned quickly that William’s pass-first street cred is a little dubious; his trigger is plenty itchy.
