<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">St. Francis - Marvin Williams spent his 19th birthday doing drills on a basketball court while offering the Milwaukee Bucks a possible glimpse of their future. The 6-foot-9? forward showed his versatility in his first workout with a National Basketball Association team Sunday, and he also displayed some nervousness in the 45-minute session at the Cousins Center. If the Bucks truly believe the North Carolina freshman can play the power forward position, he could be their choice in the June 28 NBA draft. The Bucks must decide between Williams and 7-foot, 255-pound Utah center Andrew Bogut, who will work out with the team this morning. "Early on, I see him more as a power forward and a guy who can play some three (small forward) as well," Bucks general manager Larry Harris said, referring to Williams. "His post-up game is a lot further along than people have seen." The Bucks could use the 230-pound Williams to complement veteran Joe Smith at the power forward spot, and he could share time with Desmond Mason at small forward. Although he came off the bench for the national champion Tar Heels, it's conceivable he could be a starter for the Bucks. "Eventually he's going to grow some more, so he's going to get bigger," Bucks coach Terry Porter said. "He has the bulk to him to play the four, and it's going to be a very easy transition for him. "He's definitely strong and solid in the post." Williams' game has been compared to several past and current NBA stars, including James Worthy, Kevin Garnett and Antawn Jamison. He struggled from beyond the three-point line in the workout but showed fine form on his perimeter shot to a range of about 20 feet. "I can shoot the ball a little bit, and I feel I create matchup problems sometimes," Williams said. "My jumper definitely has to get better, and I can try to extend my range a little bit more."</div> Source Andrew Bogut will work out today for the Bucks. Should be interesting on his results. Apparently, Marvin is now the front runner for being the #1 pick.
please excuse the language, guys, but i will s*** if we take marvin. larry, there is only one word you need to remember in this draft: BOGUT. don't waste the pick on another tweener, get a big man who can play, solve the problem we've had in the post for the last 10 years. pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
