Jason Williams to the Knicks? Fantasy View

Stephen Kersey — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 03:41:14 +0000

Last season, Jason Williams signed with the Los Angeles Clippers. Shortly after signing, Williams announced his retirement. After a year away from NBA basketball, Williams has decided he wants to play again.

The New York Knicks claimed Williams off waivers and they are reportedly talking to him right now about a contract. While it’s been a while since White Chocolate was relevant in the fantasy basketball world, signing with the Knicks would make him relevant once again.

The 33-year-old native of West Virginia would likely have a chance of starting for Mike D’Antoni. A point guard in D’Antoni’s offense is worth rostering on your fantasy team, as we saw last year with Chris Duhon. Once given the reins to D’Antoni’s offense, Duhon averaged 11.1 points and 7.2 assists last year for the Knicks.

While Duhon will likely start again for New York, D’Antoni may decide to go with Williams. A very good passer, Williams could rack up the assists when playing for the Knicks. His points per game would also improve.

Keep an eye on if Williams ends up with the Knicks. If he doesn’t, he’ll likely return to fantasy basketball irrelevancy.

Earlier in the offseason, we reported that Jason Williams had signed with the Los Angeles Clippers. Now comes the news that Jason Williams, also known as White Chocolate, has retired from the NBA. He made the decision prior to training camp opening for the Clippers.

The 33-year-old point guard hasn’t given any specific word about why he retired, but one can assume it is injury related. Williams has struggled with injuries in recent years and his once explosive play had slowed considerably.

With the Clippers, who was going to be one of Baron Davis’ main backups. But now the White Chocolate legacy will only live on in the form of YouTube videos. Here is a video of Jason Williams doing what he did best:

White Chocolate signs with the Clippers

Jason Williams, who is known perhaps more by his nickname of White Chocolate, has signed a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. Williams has spent the last few seasons with the Miami Heat, where he was a part of the 2005-06 NBA champions.

With the Clippers, Williams will give the team a very capable backup point guard. With Baron Davis as the starter, there’s a pretty good chance that Williams will get some starts considering Davis’ injury history.

Going into the 2008-09 NBA season, Williams is no longer a draftable player in fantasy basketball. However, if something is to happen to Davis and Williams is thrust back into a starting role, he has proven to be capable in the last few years.

Here is a video of White Chocolate in action:
