What They're Saying About Jason ...
2/12/2002 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
The Word on Jason Williams
"Jason has been a truly a special player for the past two years. He
really does not have a position. His position is 'amazing player.'
Nobody in the country makes more big plays than Jason Williams,
especially in big games."
- Mike Krzyzewski, Duke Head Coach
"Pound for pound, inch for inch, Jason Williams is the most explosive
player in America. He can dominate a game with his ability to penetrate
and shoot the three better than any player in college basketball. He is
flat out the greatest spurt player I've witnessed in the past 10 years.
In Vitale speak, he is the ultimate three 'S' man - super,
scintillating, sensational. He's awesome with a capital 'A.'"
- Dick Vitale, ESPN/ABC College Basketball Analyst
"If seeing is believing, how can you vote for anyone but Duke junior
All-American guard Jason Williams for National Player of the Year?"
- Dick Weiss, New York Daily News
"You don't turn down the chance to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft to
return to school and be passive. You return to be great, historically
great, all-time great ... You play like the nation's best player leading
the nation's best team. When the challenge is its greatest, when the
season's signature games hang in the balance, you bring it. No excuses.
He's been good throughout the season. He's been at his best when it
mattered the most. There's a dream season playing out in Durham. Jason
Williams, the great Jason Williams, has the pen."
- Dan Wetzel, CBS Sportsline
"To me, based upon his performance to date, the clear choice for
National Player of the Year is Jason Williams. No other player has so
singularly dominated play, especially in big games. Williams continually
takes over games, and even with defenses designed to take the ball out
of his hands, nobody can contain him. He's the best player in college
basketball. The tough question isn't if Williams will be the Player of
the Year, it's who will be second."
- Jay Bilas, ESPN College Basketball Analyst
"Jason Williams is the best player in the country."
- Gary Williams, Maryland Head Coach
"When Jason is in that zone and has that look, I don't think anybody in
the country can stay in front of him."
- Chris Duhon, Duke teammate
