Milwaukee Bucks General Manager Larry Harris was informed today by Utah Jazz team officials that they would not match the offer sheet extended to guard Maurice "Mo" Williams. "Mo is a talented, young player who we targeted early on in free agency," said Harris. "He's athletic, defends well and gives us added depth at the point guard position." http://www.nba.com/bucks/news/williams_040821.html Glad to have Mo aboard
I already posted this somewhere... But this is a good signing, he can be a great backup for the Bucks but would blossom if he was a starter.
Good luck to Mo in Milwaukee, he's a great player, but wasn't getting the minutes he deserved in Utah. Mo Williams is a combo guard, who scores first. He provides energy and hustle off the bench, and is a nice guy off the court. Every coach would like him. I don't think he's ready to start yet, but he has a future in the League.

James will til TJ is ready. i see Mo playing both at the 1 and 2 spots this year. we really dont have a backup SG behind Redd, porter used Mason a little bit but hes more of a 3 then a 2.
The Bucks now have sufficient insurance at point if Ford gets injured again. Williams is a nice young addition to the team and could play a major role, even as a third-string PG. I expect big things from him in Milwaukee.
