Can play 2 positions nice outside shot and not afraid to take it inside. He would have been top 5 to 10 pick but dropped tp 11. Talent not issue with him if head is on right be good help off bench to eat spme minutes. I can see 15 min 8 points 3 boards.

If he can fill Barbosa's role then the C's are in good shape at the guard position for the rest of the year. Now we need another big man to help rebound and enforce around the basket. Why is this so hard for DA to see. GET A BIG MAN.

Don't sleep on this guy. He's a good athletic defender. I think he could see some minutes at some point.

Great player at Kentucky when he a had a great (college ) coach. Maybe a great pro coach can get the talent he has out of him. Terrence has to know he is running out of chances, so maybe he just shuts up and plays his butt off. Has more pure talent than Barbosa, but has yet to but any solid strecth together in the pros, unlike Leandro who is a solid pro.

I wanted the c's to sign Williams this offseason. Good pickup, but I doubt he will get many minutes in doc's rotation. Maybe he can fill in the vacancy left by barbosa

Hard to believe you know anything about him when you get the college team he played for wrong which also means you dont know who coached him....

More on T Williams......
Williams showed signs of being able to have a sustained career in the league when he averaged 8.4 points for New Jersey in his rookie season. He clashed with the Nets coaching staff in his second year, however, and was eventually sent down to the D League as punishment for being consistently late to team meetings and practices. He played in just 11 games that season.
T-Will was given opportunities for fresh starts in both Houston and Sacramento, and though he put up decent numbers despite sporadic playing time over the past two seasons, the attitude issues have still followed him around. He was then released by the Pistons after averaging just 2.5 points in a pair of preseason games.

Oh Good! All problems solved! Banner 18 on the way! And here I thought Danny was going to do nothing. Silly me!

It's a bad sign whenever a player is drafted and the first thing they laud about him is his athleticism and that he "runs the floor well." Both these things usually mean the guy can't shoot and has no real basketball IQ. All he can basically do is jump and dunk.

TW may stick on this team if he exudes all of his readily hidden inside talent.

We took a shot on a Williams last year also. He didn't work out so well. I have a feeling this one may work out better. Don't know much about him other than watching Utube highlights. What I do like is he seems to have a in between shot going to the rim. Hopefully he doesn't just settle for jumpers. We have enough of that. His passing seems OK as well. Hope he turns out for us. Maybe he will be one of those Kevin Gamble type players, never did much, got on the C's and turned out to be a pretty good player. He is young enough to fit in the future with him having a lot of talent.
Lets hope we found a diamond in the rough.

The thing about TW is he's a great passer...not a good passer but a great passer. He's a stat sheet stuffer...pts, rebs, assts.
