    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Louis Williams won the 2005 Naismith Award for being the top high-school player in the nation last season. He was selected by the Sixers with the 45th pick in the draft, the first high-schooler to be picked by Philadelphia since Darryl Dawkins 30 years earlier. Williams has yet to see much playing time with the Sixers, but he is patient and knows that there is much for him to learn.

    Rookie Report: How has the first month and a half of the season been for you?

    Louis Williams: Personally, it's been great. I'm just trying to learn and soak up everything I can from these guys, especially having, A.I., Kevin Ollie and coach Cheeks. It's been great for me. I've been allowed the opportunity to be a sponge and soak up information. The only tough part about it is that we've been losing a little bit.

    RR: Is there one lesson that coach Cheeks stresses?

    LW: He wants me to really pay attention to the guys that are playing in front of me, how to run a basketball team at the point guard position. He realizes that I was a two-guard in high school and that it's a transition over to the point. Day by day, I'm just trying to learn how to run this basketball team and get guys shots in the right spots whenever I'm in the game.

    RR: Has there been any talk about going down to the D-League at all?

    LW: Right now, that's not an option for me. Neither the coaching staff or the people upstairs have mentioned that, but you never know at this level.

    RR: Do you get a lot out of practice?

    LW: Absolutely. With a guy like Allen who's playing 40 minutes a night, he's not going to practice everyday, so that gives me a first-hand opportunity to battle with these guys and run the basketball team. They realize that Allen's not going to always be available in practice, so for me that's a great opportunity to showcase what I can do.

    RR: So no regrets about coming out early?

    LW: Absolutely not. No regrets. </div>

    we all hope the best for him. hopefully he will turn into the next AI, although there will never ever be a player just like him ever again.
