I think he'd have a hard time avoiding doing that again in a return trip. It took him like 8 incidents to finally get kicked out of BC. He's not good enough to get that kind of leeway in the NBA.
an NBA player who smokes weed??!? NO WAY!!
the only difference between him in college and guys in the pros is they have enough loot to hide their tracks.
I have no problem with the weed, so long as you can stay productive. IMO Williams going back home around his buddies would be bad news and really hamper him from focusing on basektball and improving. In college, he was enough of a freak athlete/talent that he could coast on his athleticism without trying or practicing much. He can't do that in the NBA because he's just not good enough to do so. He needs to find somewhere like Oklahoma City or Minnesota, a place remote and away from his old pals where he can focus on basketball and improve. If he does so, he's got a great shot at being a Marcus Camby-type of player, with more muscle.
