@JonRothstein: If Villanova fans aren't watching Jalen Brunson in Europe, they're missing out. Reminds me of Marcus Williams at UConn. TABLE SETTER. Lefty.


Love williams game. Glad he still gets brought up and thought of

I think Marcus Williams had the most complicated 'what if' career of any player in recent memory.

He could have done so much more than he did.

For me if I'm picking a point guard from here, it's him. Loved his game.

Imagine Kevin Ollie having Marcus Williams abilities? Not selling KO short but Marcus was blessed with gifts which he did little with. We know what KO would've done with those - while he already had a long career I'm guessing there would have been less trades and even more $$$$$.

Just remembered that Brunson was pretty much a done deal to Temple until his dad got arrested. Would have been a very nice get for the conference.

Ollie work ethic+Marcus Williams skills, and size=Jason Kidd

When the Celtics picked Rondo, I thought what a huge mistake, surprised Williams didn't pan out. Did he even play in Europe?

If I'm picking what could have been, maybe I pick Marcus.

If I pick what was, I'm picking Kemba or Shabazz or Ricky or Kevin or Doron...

I liked Marcus, but he just never had his act together.

Perfect example - showing up at the NBA draft combine at about 15% body fat. That's a few percentage points away from being a bratwurst.

Thanks for posting, that was a fun watch. Such a creative passer.
