why would we pass on marcus williams?

[Fillmoe]

why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CreeksideBaller]

UNBELIEVABLE! Why would we draft another SG! It was a total no-brainer! im so mad right now im on the verge of tears? hmmm maybe the reason we didnt take him is because we were scared he'd steal computers from us. GET REAL!

 

[G_M]

Apparently, he is lacking either in skills, morals, or some other attribute important to NBA GM's.

Petire is slowly but surely undoing his magic.

Does that mean the other GM's that passed and are passing on Williams are also "losing" it?

 

[LA King Fan II]

A 6'3 shooter.......huh? Who sits behind this guy?

Ever?

His questionable moves are not isolated to this...Plently of GMs are much, much worse (ie. Isaiah Thomas)

 

[HaraWish]

I'm very surprised. Even Suns passed him up. He has a sort of problem? Maybe Marcus would be very disappointed.

 

[swisshh]

It's not just that we passed on Marcus, it's that we passed on Rondo and the Spanish guy as well. Three of the top PG prospects somehow fell right to our draft position and instead we select somebody who is the last of our needs. Another shootign guard, who is undersized, doesn't have the skills to play point and plays no defense? WTF?

 

[VF21]

I don't mind us passing on Marcus Williams. But I suspect Rajon Rondo may come back to haunt us.

I'm now officially depressed.



Oh look...Williams goes to the Knicks.

 

[Jechtsphere]

Sac never had him for a work out, his agent wouldn't allow him to work out for anyone so that might be the reason for the slide.

drafted by new jersey now.

 

[G_M]

Grant Napear just said that Marcus Williams did not come to Scaramento for a workout and that his agent would not let him come in for a workout.

 

[kingsfan101]

Does it mean that Petrie is planning to lose Bonzi to free agency or via S&T?

 

[Jechtsphere]

also the thing he had with the lap tops and being over weight, all of that makes him slip that far.

 

[KP]

I thought we needed a Big or a back up point guard? Don't we already have 2 skinny athletic combo players that can score and handle the ball a little for Bibby if they have too?? Why did we need another one? Well at least he is a prolific scorer, classic Petrie in that respect at least. Can't rely judge until we get into the season though.

 

[nbrans]

He's not a good athlete, he's not in shape, he can't shoot and he's a suspect character.

 

[LA King Fan II]

It has to mean that Garcia is going to be traded? Personally, I'd hate that because I think he was coming on before that ridiculously King-like ankle injury - but why would they possibly draft this type.

 

[Jechtsphere]

Garcia isn't going anywhere IMO.

More so they don't think they can pay Bonzi.

 

[G_M]

It seems to me that Douby could play back-up PG. So, maybe the Hart&Price combo is done.

Yup. There's still a place for Martin and Garcia

 

[Gary]

That sounds like a cheerleader we had a few years ago from Mich State

 

[Fillmoe]

i think this means wells is pretty much gone.... hopefully we could sign and trade him for a backup pg.....

 

[zeke04]

I think this means that Petrie selected the best player he felt was left on the board.

 

[nbrans]

i think this means wells is pretty much gone.... hopefully we could sign and trade him for a backup pg.....

Why would this mean Bonzi is gone? We're replacing Bonzi with a 6'3" combo guard? Um, no. Douby is the new backup PG.

 

[Gary]

Yup. There's still a place for Martin and Garcia

Marting is out starter this coming year. Pretty much we have this;

SG-Martin/Garcia/Douby
PG-Bibby/Douby/Garcia

The backcourt looks good, and young. Now we need to go out and get Garnett.

 

[Fillmoe]

Why would this mean Bonzi is gone? We're replacing Bonzi with a 6'3" combo guard? Um, no. Douby is the new backup PG.

no... we are replacing bonzi with kevin martin and douby will play backup sg

 

[Gary]

I think there is a >10% chance we resign Wells. Our team is looking to get younger and Wells really would stunt Martins growth.

 

[Gary]

no... we are replacing bonzi with kevin martin and douby will play backup sg

Amen ^^^^

 

[chaps]

Marcus Williams will come back and bite us in the ***. He didn't work out for us? No s***. I don't think we worked out a lot of prospects that were projected to go in the 6-12 range.

Marcus does have many flaws. But then again, so does everyone in this draft! Marcus is a pure pass first PG with amazing playmaking abilities. Why we would pass him up for a 6`3 tweener guard that is obsessed with shooting the ball is beyond me. I think we're gonna regret this pick when he's gonna want to chuck up shots a la Cuttino Mobley and kill the offensive. Which i dont think Ron and Bonzi in particular will apreciate too much.

We don't need help at the 2 or the 3. We're set at those positions. Even our starting PG is not fully a PG because he likes to shoot so damn much. We needed a passer, we had one and we let him slip away.

I don't like this pick.

 

[Gary]

Been reading that Douby can handle the ball and play PG. I think this pick will work out in the long run. Kind of like a Bobby Jackson is what Douby is described as only taller.
