Marvin Williams

Yes.

A lot of people saying that was Marvin Williams, and he was from there.

Thank you, everybody, for confirming that for me.

All right, everybody.

They tried it.

People forget— Marvin Williams was the third pick for the Hawks.

He never panned out.

The whole Al Horford, Jeff Teague experiment, that never panned out, right? Then there was the Trae Young experiment.

But I was with the team for, you know, 30-some, 40-some games.

So, like, that whole experience with Coach Cliff and Marvin Williams, Kemba, a really great group of guys to learn from, to be around, to just experience things with.

And just, you know, to have a year in the NBA is something that you work your whole life for.

And something that's helped me in the rest of my life in ways that I can't imagine.

New team for him in Miami, and a guy that has given Charlotte some issues in the past.

There's never a perfect player to slow him down, and the Hornets have had their fair share of guys throughout the years trying to, whether it's Marvin Williams or P.J. Washington, they're throwing anybody and everybody at Giannis, double-teaming, playing straight up, and he can hurt you if he gets going and you've got shooters on the outside.

I think Miami this season doesn't have a lot of shooters from the perimeter, but again, just the idea of trying to contain that guy and the way that he's able to draw fouls and put pressure at the rim is something that was a big point of emphasis that...

I think many Hornets fans were thinking about heading into the game.

Small forward.

No.

He was with.

And in that three-team trade with New Orleans and Atlanta.

DeAndre Hunter... was taken he got a b plus average from the draft grades player profile of marvin williams luol dang kind of a basement of jay crowder ringer said he's one of the safer picks in the lottery because he could get tribute immediately on both ends of the floor bleacher report said while his upside appears limited by a lack of shot creating skills he counteracts that with opening night readiness But Yahoo is a little more critical.

They said Atlanta surrendered a lot of draft capital to add a player who doesn't really have star potential, but he's a low-risk pick who should fit in well with the Hawks'

young core.

Um, where he had a lot of hurt feelings about not being offered, and the Hawks had a very strict, we don't negotiate against ourselves policy.

That dated back to Marvin Williams when they did, and they overpaid for Marvin by a handsome amount, and organizationally it said never again.

And Danny matched Jeff Teague's offer sheet within one minute, basically.

He was like, all right, thank you.

mean, Juwan Williams too.

Who was our best player? Marvin Williams.

Our

best player was Sean.

That's terrible.

So he's Marvin Williams?

[laughs] I mean, not as a rookie.

I'm just talking about him-

... as a rookie.

That's all

Like, Marvin Williams wasn't a strong rebounder.

Like, he was a jump shooting combo forward.
