Eric Williams just checked into the Toronto - Houston game, and here's the log of his first 4 possessions of the game:
1. On defense, guarding Jimmy Jackson. Sound positional defense
in the key to deny any sort of flash/cut/pic'n'role situation for
Jackson. Jackson curls out and again, Williams is in good
defensive position, forcing Tyronn Lue to throw a low pass that ends up
going off Jackson's foot. Turnover.
2. On offense, Raptors isolate Eric Williams in the low post against
Jimmy Jackson. Slightly forced entry pass by Bosh, resulting in
Williams catching the ball 15 feet out instead of 7 feet out.
Using his strength, Willams backs down Jackson onto the block and then
rips off a power step into the key with a half fadeaway from 7 feet
out. Back rim, front rim, drops in; a soft touch. Bucket.
3. On offense. Again Eric Williams is iso'd, this time on
the right midpost. Quick move into the middle for another
short 8 foot jumper. Bucket.
4. On Defense, still guarding Jimmy Jackson. Last possession of
the quarter, and Jimmy Jackson gets the ball in the corner.
Perfect defensive position by Eric Williams - Jackson has nowhere to go
and ends up launching an ill-advised 3 against Eric Williams' long
arms. Airball.
So, Eric Williams' first minute-plus as a Raptor results in forcing a
turnover, back-to-back buckets in the paint, and forcing an
airball. Great defense, tough offense... the post-Vince era has begun!!!
