Philly munu sennilega láta Williams byrja í PG

That may be a big deal considering the 6-foot-2 Williams recently said that coach Eddie Jordan's motion offense sometimes uses guards as big men. But did we mention that his primary antagonist that day was a well-traveled 5-foot-9 European pro guard name Herman Favors?

OK, so Philly fans might not be so impressed.

Williams' outburst the other night doesn't suggest that the fifth-year pro can slide seamlessly into the starting point guard spot in Philly vacated by Andre Miller, who split for Portland in free agency. There is little denying that Williams is a score-first, pass-second player (12.8 points, three assists a game last season). And Philadelphia, of course, has been down the road before with scoring-happy point guards. Allen Iverson played the part for years.

Still, the 22-year-old Williams, who came straight out of high school into the NBA in 2005, sure sounds like someone who's ready to take over.

"When I was a rookie, I was like a deer in headlights," he said. "I was playing at 100 mph, just trying to do things that come naturally. Now, I understand timing on the court, understand the score and what's needed at certain times, getting guys touches to keep guys happy. I'm starting to think the game a lot more.´´
