Looks like those pesky off-court problems didn’t hurt his stock too much. I am also heartened – somewhat selfishly, I must admit – by Basketball Prospectus’ reaction to Williams’ selection:
Kevin Pelton: “So much for those character concerns.”
Anthony Macri: “Good for T-Will.”
Bradford Doolittle: “I like how because Williams has a distinctive personality he’s constantly referred to as a ‘head case’.”
Curiously, Chad Ford now characterizes Williams’ personality as “eccentric,” which is notably less ominous than previous descriptions. In any case, congratulations to Mr. Williams, who shall remain a favorite of Fan Interference even though he is now a member of the New Jersey Nets.

I was thinking today that he’s probably my favorite Louisville player since Marques Maybin. Congrats to T-Will. Hopefully the Nets will teach him how to shoot…
