    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Events are going so fast for 76ers second round draft pick Louis Williams that he seems to refer to everything at the mini-camp as ?miles per hour.? If there?s one thing, the one thing the 18-year-old guard has learned is to slow down.

    ?You don?t necessarily have to go 95 miles per hour to get things done,? Williams said. ?Guys like Kevin Ollie are going like 60 or 70, and he?s just as effective as the next guy.?

    For Williams, it has been nonstop since he turned 18 last October. Before he knew it he graduated in May from high school and then was drafted by the Sixers in June. Now, he is stepping up his preparations for the season with the mini-camp.

    ?He?s a young kid, and I think that these two a days are going to help him towards October and as time keeps going on and on, he?ll get better,? Head Coach Maurice Cheeks said.

    One thing that has helped Williams has been mentoring from some of the Sixers vets ? current and now departed ones.

    ?Kevin Ollie has been great for me. Kyle Korver has been great. Aaron McKie was great for me,? Williams said. ?Those are three guys that?s been here mainly and Marc Jackson was great for me before he was gone. Those are guys who were here early on when I first got here and gave some great advice everyday, made sure I was all right and looked out for me.? </div>

    There go our veterans. Maybe Steven Hunter can teach him a thing or two. [​IMG]
