Jawad Williams feeling slighted
Posted Jul 11, 2005
Jawad Williams doesn't understand. He did everything North Carolina coach Roy Williams asked. He played defense, worked hard and hustled. He provided leadership and when needed came through in the clutch. He was a starter on the national championship team. Yet, he wasn't drafted. "I have no clue what happened," Williams said. "I did what my team needed me to do. I stepped up in big games." Williams has landed with the Warriors' summer-league team and is determined to prove his name should have been called. He said he could help an NBA team the same way he helped the Tar Heels.
