David Williams debut in Cincinnat was not a particularly good one.
His Atlanta Celtics squad was victorious in their first game of pool play early this afternoon, but the IU commit was a virtual non-factor in the 78-70 win.

Williams started both halves on the bench, and did little offensively throughout the 15 or so total minutes he played. He finished with zero points (he missed his lone-shot and it was from point-blank range) and he fumbled a few passes out of bounds. And twice he stole the ball but turned it right back over to the other team.

The Jacksonville native has been said to play somewhat of a "point forward" role on his team, but he rarely touched the ball on offense for the very talented Celtics team. On defense, Williams had several rebounds and a couple of blocks and the aforementioned steals. He seemed to defend well, but he needs to bulk up more if he wants to bang in the post.

The good news, Williams played much better in the second game (10 points?), but I was not there to see it. Definitely has potential, but looks like a role player at best.
