Summer league report: Williams, Morrison, RedickBy John Denton
Special to ESPN.com
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Six first-round picks from last month's NBA draft --
Charlotte's Adam Morrison, Chicago's Tyrus Thomas and Thabo Sefolosha, New
Jersey's Marcus Williams and Josh Boone, and Indiana's Shawne Williams -- are
the headliners this week at Orlando's Pepsi Pro Summer League, which tipped
off Monday. Here is a look at that half-dozen and others in Monday's games:
Most impressive (tie): Marcus Williams, Nets; Sean May, Bobcats
Williams, who shockingly fell to the 22nd pick on draft night, played as if
he had something to prove Monday. He was on the attack all night in New
Jersey's 86-82 defeat of the Orlando Magic, dispelling rumors he is out of
shape.
The former UConn star made 9-of-15 shots and four of his five 3-pointers for
a game-high 24 points. He also had 12 assists, many of them drop-off passes
to Eric Williams (12 points) and Jamar Smith (11 points), for easy dunks. It
looks as though the Nets might have finally found the backup to Jason Kidd
that they have been searching for.
May, the 13th overall pick in the 2005 draft, cleared up any lingering
questions about his injured knee with a dominant showing for the Charlotte
Bobcats. May, whose rookie season was limited to 23 games because of
season-ending knee surgery, looked trim and agile in the Bobcats' 83-65
throttling of Miami. May's dazzling performance -- 22 points, seven rebounds
and six steals -- even overshadowed Adam Morrison's debut.
May showed off his the work he's put in this summer, displaying his newfound
shooting range. He repeatedly stepped away from the basket for face-up
jumpers and he even made a 3-pointer. Said May: "I'm just trying to extend my
game and show that I'm not just a back-to-the-basket player."
Least impressive: Dorell Wright, Heat
Wright said he talked to good friend Dwyane Wade just before taking the court
Monday night. But the second-year guard looked nothing like Wade, struggling
with his decision-making most of the night.
Wright made just 4-of-10 shots and had three turnovers to go with his 12
points. Wright had two fouls in the first few minutes and allowed Morrison to
shake free for two jump shots early on.
But Wright did pick up his defense in the second half after Heat assistant
coach Keith Askins teased him that Morrison was about to score 30 against
him. In fact, Wright played a role in Morrison's missing nine consecutive
shots at one point.
If the 6-foot-8 Wright, who played just 23 NBA games in his first two
seasons, is going to get on the floor for the Heat, it's going to have to be
with his defense.
