    I remember there were a few people in here that were "high" on S.Williams. I couldn't understand why being that he was on his 14th team in 5 years when we acquired him. [​IMG]

    Where is he now? Why, he's in Georgia..................................The country. [​IMG]

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Shammond Williams starred in his debut match in Georgian national team jersey. New Orleans Hornets free agent point guard helped his new country with 26 points and 6 assists to overcome its main rival Russia 87:71. Georgia and Russia are playing in Porto San Giorgio international tournament with hosts Italy and Sweden. It was Georgia?s first match after nearly three years inactivity at European scene.

    Shammond Williams was introduced to the Georgian squad by his former teammate at Orlando Magic Zaza Pachulia. Negotiations with Georgian Basketball Federation ended successfully, Shammond Williams agreed to play for Georgia until 2007 European Championships finals. American played 35 minutes against Russia and was one of the best in team. Vladimir Boisa was top scorer of the match with 30 points and 5 rebounds. Olimpija (Slovenia) forward scored 4 three pointers out of six. Zaza Pachulia, team captain, who was acquired by Milwaukee Bucks, was dominant inside by scoring 19 points and making 21 rebounds.

    San Antonio Spurs bound Viktor Sanikidze was impressive at senior level debut. 18 year old forward scored 11 points and had 7 rebounds. Manuchar Markoishvili was injured and replaced by Giorgi Tsintsadze. Yang and talented Georgian team was far better then Russia and gave away only one quarter. Russians were playing without their top star Andrei Kirilenko of Utah Jazz. Georgia plays without tree top players: Vladimir Stepania, Nickoloz Tskitishvili and Vakhtang Natsvlishvili. Italy beat Sweden 82:75 in opening match of the Porto San Giorgio tournament.

    High on Shammond Williams? Who could be high on him? I really never saw anything in that guy that made me think that he could ever be anything more than the 14th guy on an NBA roster.

    I always looked at him as a Kevin Ollie-type player: mediocre talent that gets shuffled around every season.

    Shammond Williams, lol. No one was High on him. I only see him as the last little boy getting picked on the team. He was nothing special. None of his abilitys (Passing,Dribbling,ect...) were above normal and IMO he barely got into the NBA. I almost forgot about the old chump to tell you the truth.

    I was really high on him...he was 1 of the only players that could create his own shot besides T-Mac last year..and of course Juwan,Gooden and Lue...but the guy can shoot .. he is a good scorer..he is just too short..not enough handling or anything else to make up for that..but he is a good player to have on your roster..3rd string..w/e.
