http://www.jsonline.com/sports/buck/jun05/334999.asp Posted: June 19, 2005 St. Francis - Marvin Williams spent his 19th birthday doing drills on a basketball court while offering the Milwaukee Bucks a possible glimpse of their future. The 6-foot-9? forward showed his versatility in his first workout with a National Basketball Association team Sunday, and he also displayed some nervousness in the 45-minute session at the Cousins Center. If the Bucks truly believe the North Carolina freshman can play the power forward position, he could be their choice in the June 28 NBA draft. The Bucks must decide between Williams and 7-foot, 255-pound Utah center Andrew Bogut, who will work out with the team this morning. "Early on, I see him more as a power forward and a guy who can play some three (small forward) as well," Bucks general manager Larry Harris said, referring to Williams. "His post-up game is a lot further along than people have seen." The Bucks could use the 230-pound Williams to complement veteran Joe Smith at the power forward spot, and he could share time with Desmond Mason at small forward. Although he came off the bench for the national champion Tar Heels, it's conceivable he could be a starter for the Bucks. "Eventually he's going to grow some more, so he's going to get bigger," Bucks coach Terry Porter said. "He has the bulk to him to play the four, and it's going to be a very easy transition for him. "He's definitely strong and solid in the post." Williams' game has been compared to several past and current NBA stars, including James Worthy, Kevin Garnett and Antawn Jamison. He struggled from beyond the three-point line in the workout but showed fine form on his perimeter shot to a range of about 20 feet. "I can shoot the ball a little bit, and I feel I create matchup problems sometimes," Williams said. "My jumper definitely has to get better, and I can try to extend my range a little bit more." During his first visit to Milwaukee, Williams was treated to a birthday cake and dinner at Mo's Place for Steaks on Saturday night. He and agent Jim Tanner also met with Bucks owner Herb Kohl for 45 minutes on Saturday. Williams is scheduled to work out with the Atlanta Hawks, the team with the second overall pick in the draft, on Wednesday. "Atlanta seems like a party city; everybody is always jumping around," Williams said. "Milwaukee seems more laid-back, kind of a small-town feel. I kind of like that a little bit." With a media crowd watching from the Cousins Center balcony, a sometimes fatigued Williams experienced a few stops and starts in his initial pro workout. But he finished well and kept himself in the running to be the Bucks' choice on draft night. "There are a lot of Internet reports that say we've made our decision," Harris said. "Unless someone is in my body and doing something for me, we have not made a decision at this point." Harris said he noted some anxiety in Williams early in the workout, before he settled into a groove. "I don't think you can simulate a workout with a lot of media, a lot of pressure, no matter whether he's working out in Washington, D.C., or Raleigh (N.C.), wherever he may be," Harris said. "So obviously there's going to be some nerves. It's just the nature of the beast. "Had this been his fifth, sixth or seventh workout, maybe it would have been a little different. Going through this process for the first time can be very nerve-racking for anyone, no matter who it is." Harris indicated that he did not intend to trade the No. 1 pick but would listen to any offers. "Right now there is no conversation, no dialogue with anyone in the league," he said. Williams is represented by a Washington law firm that also has NBA stars Grant Hill, Tim Duncan and Shane Battier as clients. "Everybody describes him as having the most up side in this year's draft, by far," Tanner said. "Beyond that, I think he's ready to contribute now. He can do things in the post, and he has the athleticism to defend multiple positions. "He has the perimeter and ball-handling skills to play the three or the four." Williams admitted that he never figured to be showcasing his skills for an NBA team on his 19th birthday, just one year after finishing high school in Bremerton, Wash. Now it's on to the NBA, in just eight days. "I'm sure they're trying to figure it out," Williams said of the Bucks. "I'm still trying to figure it out. "If I was back at home, I probably wouldn't be doing anything. Here I got a cake and a workout. -- 这一篇是有关另一位状元候选人Willams在公鹿测试的过程与心得, 看到文中将他描述的很不错,也让我内心产生了矛盾了! 到底公鹿制服组会选择谁呢?6/28就可以谜底揭晓了! 就让我们擦亮眼睛拭目以待吧!!! -- --
