Is anyone worried that Ball is similar to Marcus Williams?

I agree that Ball is a better shooter. But I swear I thought Marcus would tear the league apart with his vision and passing ability.

Maybe it's just bad luck. I honestly think If Marcus played now he'd have a much better chance in the pace and space NBA.

Eh, I think he'd be even more over-matched in today's game. Not a good shooter, below average athletically, can't guard a soul. Perhaps he'd have had a shot if his work ethic had been better, but even then it'd be a long shot. There just isn't a place for that type of player anymore. Kendall Marshall averaged 9 assists per game as a 22-year-old and three years later he's out of work.

Unbelievably gifted passer though and a pleasure to watch play. I'm sure he'll be dazzling in pick-up until he's 70.
