I never thought his game would transition well to the league to be honest.
I mean, he did go to Duke!

Do you honestly think any player reads the details of their contract?

Would you calm down if we dubbed him the next potential isaiah?
he averaged 9.5pts and 4.7ast. in 75 games played.
isaiah indeed
And to the Tyronn Lue comparison...that's plain stupid. Two completely different players.
didn't get that many minutes? he was a starter for 54 games. he got plenty of pt. As for lue, in the 04' season he started 46 games, averaged 13.5/5.3.....both were 1st round picks......i wasn't saying jay would've been the exact mold of lue, but they were similar talents.
it's not like people weren't calling jay a bust or anything....wait they were.
He was more athletic then Lue, he was a better shooter then Lue, he had better court vision then Lue, wasn't a damn stick like Lue, etc.Nothing about their games are similar... And in the 04' season, Lue wasn't a rookie, he was in his 6th season... Not a rookie so why even bring thatup?
And why are you putting words in my mouth? When did I say he was gonna be the next Isiah? Point blank, Lue is a medicore journeyman point gaurd...

Jason WIlliams was the truth...I still remember his last game with Duke, how he hit the 3 AND got that foul (which he missed..) Dude would've been betterthan average for sure, but now we'll never know...He would've been the first draft pick too, if it wasn't for a 7'6 Chinese center from ShangHai.
From what I remember, he only played one season before the accident. I was so mad when I found out about his accident...it's too damn bad, he would'vebeen top 5 PG right now at least.

He would've turned into an All-Star. Pooh is basically a carbon copy of him w/ just a little more hops.
Remember the debate- Yao or JWill w/ the number one? Funny how things turn out...

What exactly was it that made his comeback impossible? Was the pain caused by the injury (hip related?), or did he just lose so much time in rehab that theskills were gone?
Son was NASTY at Duke with the handle and the J, I loved watching him and Booze and Dunleavy

As for Jason Williams, I think he'd be a good PG. MJ wanted to draft him #1, if he'd have left school, after the 00-01 Duke season.

I mean Jameer is nice but because Orlando wanted to trade him for so long guys aint looking at the whole picture.
But what Jameer is doing this season would prob be Jason's career averages now. Prob at 7 assists and 17 points though.

I remember that game ever so clearly.
Duke was down by 4 and bam Jay with the 3 and the foul.
Ashamed that he missed the free throw but they did have a couple tries after the miss, I don't completely blame him.
I think he would've been one of the top PGs had he not had the accident.

� I think he would've been solid don't think hewould've been an All-Star or a Chris Paul but he would've held his own and been good as a starter or backup for a stacked team

I can see the Deron Williams comparison. He was really strong for a point guard. Sucks that we'll never know.

He had the potential to be a top 5 PG in the league.
