Teletopez Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 “… Hello,” Williams said, breaking into a wide smile as he leaned back. Laughs rolled through the room, and it became apparent that if the Louisville product’s timing is as good on-court as it can be in a quip, the Nets will have aced the 11th pick. Williams continued: “I would like to say to the staff here, thanks for believing in me and the new direction that you’re trying to go in, and drafting me No. 11. A lot of people thought I was going to go somewhere else, but I felt when I first met them, when I went to lunch with them, I would like to be here because they’re straight shooters, like Coach (Rick) Pitino. This is a great situation for me, and so I’d like to really thank them for making that call to David Stern and saying, ‘This is who we want,’ and it happened to be me. I want to start off by saying I really appreciate that from you guys. “To everybody else: I know there are things that I need to work on. With my hard work and dedication to playing basketball, I will work on those things. I’m not coming here trying to be something I’m not, I’m coming here to try and help win games and listen to the coaching staff. I’m excited to be a New Jersey Net.” LinkMore Quotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 He was one of my favorite college players this season, I hope he pans out in NJ. He definitly has the potential to become a good player; he has some question marks on the offensive end but nothing time cant fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I love this guy, he does everything. I see him averaging around 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 or 6 assists, 3 steals, and 1.5 blocks or so in the summer league. Obviously won't be that high in his first season but I think he can do it in the summer league. Guy can bring it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurbyFX Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Going to be a VERY VERY solid, do-it-all player in the NBA. I like the fact the Nets made room for Williams AND Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
