    That James Harden comparison someone made for Williams is looking pretty good right now

    Ewill has Bayless's killer instinct in a bigger body with long arms who can defend and shoot. Loving it.

    Favors is good. They need to do whatever they can to get him more minutes. And EWill was supposed to be a slasher ... interesting.

    Williams is more athletic than Harden. Not nearly as skilled, though maybe that can change.

    This is Elliot's first NBA game, and he doesn't look phased at all

    Have a good feeling about him. Think he'll take Nolan's minutes by the end of the season.

    E.Will looking really good. Did any of you guys notice his SWAG? He's got skill but confidence too. He may surprise us this season.

    well, im not expecting him to shoot 100% on the year...:lol:

    but in general, i thought the knock on him was meh outside shooting, if he can stroke the 3, it is going to open up alot of opportunities for him to show off his athleticism

    Favors has been eaten up all night inside on defense. He has a long ways to go, but obviously has some athleticism and some basic skills. This is all without LMA tonight, too.

    Slightly different players and roles, but I wouldn't be shocked; the same thing kind of happened at Duke before Williams transferred to Memphis.

    Most guys get "eaten up on defense" when they're 20 ... longterm I think he's going to be a really nice player.

    Still don't see him as a PG. He is all SG (Even though I heard he cant hit a jumper to save his life)

    I'm not sure Nolan Smith is playing PG for this team either

    At least not right away or this season. Looks like Crawford is coming in and handling the ball most of the time.
