Marcus Williams

What was most impressive during the competitive play was Williams’ ability to get to where he wanted to go, not through shear speed or power, but through his amazing footwork and the weight distribution and hesitation he uses to set up the defense. Williams’ feet are a study in and of themselves when he’s got the ball in his hands. It’s a given that Williams has complete control with his dribble, but his footwork enables him to keep the defender from being able to settle into a defensive stance. Williams also has the natural ability to hesitate and stutter his motions in a manor that can lull an opponent into a false sense of security just before he springs into action with his quick first step.

In the 3 on 3 was when we really started getting feelings of déjà vu. Williams got his team off to a very quick start by absolutely dominating through his passing; showing outstanding court vision both on the drive and dish as well as from static positions. Bounce passes, lobs, or two-handed bullet passes threading the needle between multiple defenders for an easy basket; everything was made so simple for his teammates. He hasn’t lost anything in the ways of his point guard skills from his time at Duke, and to a certain extent appears to have greatly improved, and he did it all gracefully and effortlessly with no hesitation whatsoever. Readjusting himself to the speed of the NBA will be one of the first things he will need to do, but from what he showed us here, he is clearly on the right track.
