Recently, I received an email from a reader telling me about this interesting video concerning Marcus Williams and the Toronto Raptors on draft night back in June. It seems that the Toronto Raptors General Manager, Bryan Colangelo, was very interested in drafting Marcus Williams to back up at the time their recently acquired point guard, TJ Ford. As we all know, Marcus Williams ended up getting drafted by the New Jersey Nets and now backs up a certain Hall of Famer in Jason Kidd. Check the video out. It is extremely fascinating to see what goes on in the war rooms on NBA draft night.
