Re: 2008-09 Cleveland Cavaliers Season Thread
Yes this is Lebron's team, but that doesn't mean Lebron will have the ball ALL the time. That's why Delonte West played so well with Lebron last year, because he complimented him, and seeing as Williams is a better player than Delonte, his production and impact will be even more than West's was.
Look at Houston, they are the perfect example of a team where a SF/SG dominates the ball in McGrady. Most of the time Alston brings up the ball and gives it straight up to Tracy, but he still gets his numbers and makes a solid impact at the end of the night. This will be the same with Mo Williams.
Secondly, I'm not saying Williams will be the missing piece to the championship, but to compare him to Boobie Gibson shows a real lack of NBA knowledge. Gibson isn't even a point guard, he's simply a gunner, a poor mans Ben Gordon, and you definately wouldn't find BG playing the point at ANY TIME in Chicago. Mo isn't the saviour of the Cavs, but if your saying that Gibson could be as productive as Williams if he had played in Milwaukee, or been in Mo's situation, that's just a dumb thing to say. Gibson isn't even a point guard and he has no play-making abilities what-so-ever.
Lastly, I didn't say Williams is an All-Star, I said his play over the last few years is enough for many coaches and players to warrant him being very CLOSE to the level. If he was to make one step up, over the past 2 years he would have definately garnered a few votes from the coaches at ASW. Oh, and it was 17.3 ppg and 6.3 apg last year, and many players have put up far worst statistical lines than that to be selected into the game.
Williams can do those things, when he has the ball. But this is Bron's team. He may as well be Boobie if he doesn;t have the ball, but he's being paid much much more.
And Williams an All-star? PLEASE! The guy wasn;t an Allstar when he had free reign to do whatever he wanted at the Bucks, and even then he only put up 16ppg and what...6-7apg?
Next you're going to tell me Jason Williams was an Allstar caliber player
