Now he's trying to reclaim his NBA career, barnstorming around the country's NBA franchises on a workout tour that's already brought him to Philadelphia, Toronto, New Jersey, Memphis and Phoenix. Monday, he took part in the first day of a two-day free agent camp at The Sports Authority Training Center at HealthPoint as he attempted to demonstrate to the Celtics brass that he has what it takes to resurrect his career. "Somebody's going to have to take a chance on me, and for the last two years I've been hearing about what I can't do, which is fine, because that drives me with the motivation to prove everybody wrong," Williams said. Known for his speed and explosiveness as a rookie when he averaged 9.5 points and 4.7 assists for the Chicago Bulls, Williams is now redefining his game as he attempts to prove himself to NBA personnel. And he knows that even if he is able to make a comeback, he may not be the same guy he was as an NBA rookie. "I'm going to be a guy who's going to try to get my nine or 10 assists a game, get guys the ball in the right situation, and be a coach on the floor," said Williams. "Only being 24, I feel like I play like a 30-year old. The game is a lot slower to me. I know what I can do; I can pass the ball, knock down open jump shots and create when I have to." </div> Source
that's nice that he says that. but its not like you can just up and get 9 or 10 assists a night in the NBA after not having playe for 3 years. I dont see what makes him think people are gonna take his word that he plays like a 30 year old. Hes only played 1 year in the league, so it stands to reason that hed play like a 21 year old but now with bad legs
