When basketball writers assessed the summer league exploits of NBA rookies, Marcus Williams was counted among the top five or six. Now with preseason half over, writers are taking another look at the rooks and Williams is still part of the elite. Sekou Smith, the respected Atlanta Journal Constitution writer, places Williams among the top 10, noting that he is second among the 2006 draftees in scoring [behind college teammate Rudy Gay] and first in assists.
