Warriors acquire Marcus Williams
So far, Marcus Williams has been a bust. The former first-round pick (#22 overall) clearly hasn't panned out, as he's averaging just 6.4 points and 3.0 assists and shooting 38.9% from the field in his brief career. That didn't stop Golden State from trading a future first round pick for him.
From the NY Post blog.... " The trade will be announced later today. The pick is lottery protected for 2011, so the Nets get it if the Warriors are in the playoffs. If it goes to 2012, the pick is protected 1-11. It's protected 1-10 for 2013. If it is not conveyed by 2013, the Nets get second-round picks in 2013 and 2015." When he came into the league, Williams was supposed to be a pass-first point guard, but he now has a rep for firing up a lot of bad shots. It will be interesting to see if Don Nelson and his staff can turn him into a legitimate NBA point guard. The pick is lottery protected, so there's limited downside for the Warriors. As for the Nets, with the acquisition of Keyon Dooling and last year's trade for Devin Harris, the writing was on the wall for Williams. Sometimes a player just needs a change of scenery. 10 Comments On: "Warriors acquire Marcus Williams"
