Message: [QUOTE="TRUCONN76, post: 3670797, member: 4143"] Kelly was a great high school scorer and obviously a tremendous player, but I am talking about the presence on the court against one of the greatest high school teams ever in CT. In that era there wasn't the prep schools recruiting kids and assembling elite teams. To get nationally ranked a team had to be great for a couple of years and schedule to play the best teams. Hillhouse was a powerhouse offensively and defensively, their players were big, skilled and powerful. As I said watching Williamson perform was eye opening. He was essentially a one man show against a great high school team. I believe almost every point was from him or an assist from him not to mention the rebounding and that he was guarding Lewis who was a monster under the basket. Kelly I came away with that he was a great scorer, Williamson I came away with that he was the best basketball player I ever saw in high school. He played one year I believe at New Mexico State and then went pro where he teamed up with Dr. J. [/QUOTE]
