Jerome Williams....sort of lost in all the talk and bigger names. I thought he was buried on Chicago's bench but then I looked up his stats for last year.

Started 44 games and didn't do a bad job. Should be a solid backup who rebounds, plays D and hustles.

JYD has decent stats, but his true value doesn't show up in the stats. He gives you temendous hustle, energy, and defense. He's an awesome role player that any team trying to go far in the playoffs should want.

Good points.

From Knicks.RealGm:

"Jerome Williams is also a nice player and should not be viewed as a throw-in. Though he is overpaid (he'll fit in nicely on the Knicks), Williams is an above-average rebounder, defender, and overall team player. He does not require many shots on the offensive end, scoring most of his points on putbacks. He had 19 double-digit rebounding games through January, before his minutes were reduced because of the youth movement in Chicago. He is very active on defense and steals the ball quite a lot for a big man (averaging 1.32 per game last year)."

I've always liked JYD. Also, he's a personal favorite of Lenny's, so he'll get a chance to make an impact. I hope we can trade Kurt for Damps in order to clear out so playing time for Sweets and JYD.

with jyd and sweetney - two georgetown beasts that'll go all out, the garden is going to be jumping again.

and if we get dampier, we are going to be offensive rebound demons. what a DRASTIC change from 1 year ago...

Yeah if you think about it, a lineup of Dampier, Sweets, JYD and Baker onside makes for a very big bigman unit. Considering that even Baker is a good offensive rebounder (while his defensive rebounding leaves a lot to be desired), we should kill almost any team on the glass every game. Considering how many outside shots we'll jack up between Marbury, Houston, TT, and Craw, and even Penny, this will result in a lot of putbacks and easy points for our bigmen should they take advantage of a rotating defense (people scrambling to get to shooters) to clean up the offensive glass.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

JYD is a great role player. He can defend all 3 frontcourt spots and he just goes and gets the ball. On a team with a surplus of scorers he really is a perfect fit. I'm excited.

Zeke thinks he's a rebounding machine.

A poor man's Rodman? I've always liked his hustle.

Jerome is a nice hustler player to add. Imagine Kenyon "Pitbull" vs Jerome "Junkyard Dog" in an epic defensive battle? Oh wait, Kenyon moved to Denver.
