Williams, 23, the second player picked in the 2002 draft, works out five days a week in Chicago under the supervision of Tim Grover, the trainer who whipped Michael Jordan into shape for Jordan's second comeback. Williams' daily regimen consists of 1½ hours of drills with Grover, an hour of lifting weights in the morning and three hours of pickup games in the afternoon. He also has 90 minutes of physical therapy on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Here's a Draft Express piece on him.

We've talked on here recently about the possibility of getting Jay... he might cost more than we're willing to pay - I believe he is a free agent so we can't trade for him.

In another thread someone was pumping for getting signing Claxton. IMHO Claxton should be able to find a team to start on, which makes him less likely to come to the Suns. The case FOR him coming for limited money is the size of the opportunity.

If Jay is able to play well, the Suns would be a great place to show case his talents. After two years, the Suns would get Bird rights on him and he could get a major contract in a sign and trade.

If he is any good, which remains unclear.

IF IF IF IF the Suns see he is the Deal offer him the $6mil MLE

 

[reader]

Bill Duffy is his agent, the same as Nash.

 

[BIGTONY]

I think 6 mil would be alot..My other idea would go maybe work out a trade and grap one of the studs from chicago..give them one of our first rounders.I love kinrich.He will be a stud 1 more year..

I'm afraid that Chicago may feel the same way about Hinrich (sp). I would love to see him in a Phoenix uniform and he could be the Suns PG of the future. However, would Chicago part with him? I'm thinking not.

Good idea if such a trade could be pulled off.

 

[BIGTONY]

I think so they have lots of sg and pg.They now they have too get bigger up front..They might go after ben wallace.Or do a trade for garnett.They will do something this summer.They have too get bigger..

[George O'Brien]

The Bulls have a lot of cap space, which is why so many teams are interested in talking to them.

hehhee Jay Williams...You guys are funny!

hehhee Jay Williams...You guys are funny!

What is so funny? Can you think of a better backup PG option that has not been stated, and is halfway possible?

 

[Ryanwb]

I just read last week that he worked out for Toronto

 

[Gaddabout]

hehhee Jay Williams...You guys are funny!

Before he got hurt, Jay Williams was a very credible point guard. He averaged about 10 pts/5 assists in about 25 mpg his rookie year, and showed flashes of being capable of much more. He was very quick and unusually strong, with natural drive-and-kick skills that would flourish in the Suns system. If he's 80 to 90 percent healthy, he would still be ideal as a backup in this sytem.

Unfortunately, I've read the Nets are dang near idolizing him now, and like the idea of marketing a New Jersey native as Kidd's backup.

 

[mjb21aztd]

If we could get him for a decent price I wouldnt mind taking a chance on this guy the upside could be huge and so could the other effect. I doubt the suns will sign him but if they did it wouldnt be a bad peaice to add to the roster.

 

[BIGTONY]

Im telling you all we need him is at least 80% for the first year.2nd year 90%..We tell take your time.Because the strarting job will be yours.Just be patient jay.It will all be yours..

 

[pokerface]

For one thing even before the dude got injured he was looking not so good...and that was when he was HEALTHY.


Now he's just some freak experiment...an experiment I dont want us testing on the Suns. None of you have any idea what kind of player he is. I dont care how many drills he does because he's washed up until proven otherwise. Let some other team goof around and experiment with him...teams with not much to lose. The Suns however are contenders on the verge of greatrness and we want players that AT LEAST can run and keep up with our style of play. Just because Williams works out doesnt mean he can play Suns ball. We have some of the best conditioned athletes in the league...Jay don't fit.


We have too many options with players we already have plus draft picks as well. We arnt near desperate enough to bring on slain Williams...NO THANKS.

Oh jeesh....The only thing you know about Jay right now is his name.

If memory serves me right wasnt Jay demoted to second string during hiis rookie campaign? Bulls fans wern't thrilled with him at all.

Of course, because your memory/impression of him is much better than anyone else's.
