1. Jay Williams, Duke
Call him whatever you want (though he wants to be called Jay now). The Duke standout will provide an instant impact at point guard. When you observe the NBA today, you see see how vital point-guard play is. The New Jersey Nets turned it around, going from losers to the top seed in the Eastern Conference, mainly because of Jason Kidd. He has been a dominator in all facets. The Hornets, the team the Nets just beat, relied heavily on the play of Baron Davis. Sacramento has improved, and the trade for Michael Bibby was a major positive.

You can see the formula. Williams has the body, the makeup, the toughness and the willingness to take the big shot. He isn't afraid of failure like so many athletes who disappear at winning time. Williams steps up and says, "Give me the rock." He knows he can make it, and he won't back down

unless, of course, it is a free throw when it counts! <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" />
