    Can't say that I do...I think a co-worker might have a daughter there but no one that i'd really talk to about.



    As for DW's ball handling. He is an efficient ball handler, meaning, he doesnt really waste his dribbles. WHen he dribbles it's with a purpose. Whether that means he is a good or bad ball handler, i don't know...but I know that that means i don't mind him handling the ball

    This dunk was flat out sick! I must've rewatched this on DVR about 20 times after it happened. The entire arena was buzzing.

    no worries. I thought I'd throw it out there. Most people won't do it because the pay is too low.

    In a lot of ways Williams reminds me of Chase. Williams has more upside and more athleticism, but the question of him being able to go against the 3s in the NBA is perplexing. I don't like the notion of running him at the 2 spot or pushing him down to the four either. If he matches up with a good coaching staff I could see him easily excelling in the NBA. Is he as good as people make him seem? No, but I think he'll be able to hold his own.

    As for handles. I think he'll be ok at the 3

    true. He will be a solid guy for years to come but never a superstar. I'd imagine he's max out at an 18 & 8 type guy.

    A motion offense does seem to suite him best though. It allows him to use his versatility without actually having for force the ball to him in a certain situation.

    My girlfriend is so set on him becoming a Rocket it isn't even funny. I think if you put him on a team with a good floor general like a CP3, he will excel.
