No problem, man. I think this is about as much info as you can find on this guy other than the NBADraft.net profile.
Good find here Sheed, I really wanted some more information on him. He sounds like quite the jumper. A vertical leap of more than 40 inches and his first dunk in 7th grade? Not bad.
I think people have got to give this kid more of a chance. I understand that many don't like the pick of Louis Williams but don't knock him off until he gets a chance to prove himself.

Top work on the info. He was rated as one of the three best high school prospects early on, so i think that if he head is on straight and he is willing to work he should be alright. And besides, he gets to be groomed by the best point guards Mo Cheeks and the man, Iverson.
Bilas is an idiot, Williams couldn't have went to a better situation. With Mo Cheeks and A.I. in the building, Louis will turn into a stud down the road.
