Fantasy Analysis
Williams averaged 5.9 points and 2.6 assists in 53 games with the Nets last season after missing the first 23 games with a broken right foot. He made the NBA's all-rookie second team in 2007 after a three-year career at Connecticut. The Nets acquired Keyon Dooling from the Orlando Magic in a sign-and-trade deal Monday to take the role Williams had last season. Now, in Golden State's high-flying offense, Williams will have a real chance to be a significant Fantasy sleeper this season. In fact, he may find himself as the starting point guard with Baron Davis now in Los Angeles. It's not out of the realm of possibility. (Updated 07/23/2008).

Monta Ellis is expected to become Golden State's starting point guard in the upcoming season, but the only other point guard on the Warriors' roster after Davis' departure was unproven youngster C.J. Watson.
