Prentis, Mississippi's oustanding rising junior center Al Jefferson was dominating in the paint adding 19 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Flint, MI, 6-5 swingman Olu Famutimi contributed ten points in the Blazers win.
The Pistons, coached by NBA-legend Jamaal Wilkes, kept the game close until the final minutes when the Blazers went on a 10-2 run. The Pistons were led by Devon Eversten, a 6-7, 190 pound wing forward from Phoenix's Moon Valley Hs, the younger Wilkes, Omar, a 6-3 shooting guard from Loyola HS in LA, and orange headbanded Trevor Ariza, the 6-8 power forward from LA's Westchester HS.
Williams showed that he can do all that is required of a top point guard with the vision to find open teammates and the ability to finish on strong fast break drives.
Last Month, Williams impressed RivalsHoops with his skillful play at the Tournament of Champions. And there's good news for those schools that haven't joined the race for this top backcourt player, there's good news. He told Mike Sullivan, "I haven't closed my list off to any school."
