Marcus Williams Impressing at Warriors Pre-Camp Workouts
Marcus is looking goodWhenever you play pickup and teams go shirts and skins, you know there are always a couple of guys who refuse to take their shirts off because they just aren’t in playing shape. When Marcus Williams was back in New Jersey, we could have definitely seen him being like that - maybe it was the pudgy cheeks, but it always seemed like he wasn’t in great shape.
Well things have changed. The early word out of the unofficial pickup games and workouts at the Warriors practice facility is that Williams is cut up and looking really impressive.
Presumptive starting point guard Marcus Williams is looking very, very good.
Generally, I’m told that Williams is moving well, working to find teammates in the offense and giving every indication that he realizes that fate has given him a huge opportunity–Monta Ellis is out, the Warriors are desperate for a lead guard, this system should give him a chance to shine.

Quest??? says:
hahahahahaha there is always a guy that refuses to take his shirt in the pickup games, thats like an universal law its almost like the point guard who can dribble circles around u but cant really shoot or make a layup
2.a shooting guard that only stands behind the 3 point line to shoot threes, missing about 80 percent of them
3. The small foward that looks impressive when u are about to pick a team, dunking all over the place jumping real high, wetting jumpers. but when the game starts all he does is run.
4. The power foward that stands around during the game doing nothing absolutely nothing. He doesnt get back on defense nor he gets in time for the offense, just stands around there like he is playing in slow motion.
5. and the center thats really tall. and u think to urseld, damn this dude can play. then it turns out all he does is stand tall, u grab more rebounds than he does and u block more shots than he does.
