Seriously. Recent vids I'd seen of him he was a bit overweight but he looks great. DHAm and Marcus have like half the schools triple doubles right?
 
Can someone remind me what exactly the Drew league is? Drummond is too good to be playing in that league. Marcus Williams was so good. I thought he would be a solid NBA player.

I thought Marcus was a steal in that '06 draft, he was one of my favorite and smoothest PGs I've ever watched.

He could have been a good NBA PG, it seems his work ethic has been the issue.

LA Pro-Am league, plenty of pros play in it that are better than he is.

Marcus Williams has been thrown off a couple pro teams for his laziness and bad attitude. It's unfortunate as his talent has always been undeniable

This + bad attitude is putting it kindly.

For some reason that seems to have been a problem for a lot of our guys once they reached the League.

Maybe Calhoun was keeping them in line here?

He also doesn't have elite point guard speed and quickness to be fair. Additionally, no better than an average shooter at that level. Marcus is a very gifted passer.
On a personal level, quite frankly, I never had a problem with him. His Dad was always a friend of UConn too. I will say this,and I have said it to Marcus, he should have gotten in more trouble than AJ on the laptop thing. Marcus was the older kid and along with his cousin was the ringleader - AJ was just a impressionable Freshman. It would have been fun to see those two healthy play together.

There was more to the laptop thing than was let on. Which is why I can not support Williams ever.

I'm not sure that's specific to UConn. A lot of NBA-caliber talents and athletes have that issue. They're naturally talented enough to be really good in college without having to put in the work that's required at the next level and just never figure out how to do it. You see it in college football a ton too.

Even just watching Kobe goof around in a summer league game you can tell his footwork is just on another level. The angles he takes, headfakes, body position are all PERFECT. His work ethic and perfectionism is something we may never see again.

This coming from a Celts fan who hated the m'fer

James Harden and defense... wow. Kobe is a top 5 all time scorer but he made James Harden look horrible.

DHam's highlight reel consisted almost entirely of turnovers, impressive.

I was in maybe 6th grade when it happened, and one of my friends was actually involved (we think). It was during the Jim Calhoun basketball camp, and players invited he and another kid into the locker room in exchange for some 'help.' The help turned out to be hauling computers into a car. They were directed to do this by the folks involved, and also by another player who was never implicated.

Nice story but not true. I know the driver.
