After Shawne Williams was traded to New Jersey, Chris Douglas-Roberts tweeted about his former teammate...and classmate...at Memphis:
I feel like I have to address this. My ex college teammate is NOT a bad guy/thug. What he is, is a 6'9" tuff 3/4 w/a lil handle & jumper!
People be quick to label us as "thugs" b/c of our background & attitude. That's dumb. @ the end of the day, he GOT GAME! PERIOD!
A match-up problem! Don't judge us on the people we grew up or hang with. They been trying to label me since high school. {shaking head}
Skill-set wise, he'll be one of the best bigs on our roster. Excluding nobody.
