Jordan Williams Breaks a Backboard

Then, Torrington’s 6-foot-10 center, Jordan Williams (47 points), summoned his inner Darryl Dawkins to shatter the Naugatuck backboard with a crushing dunk. With shards of glass all over the floor (and a few in Williams, taken out by the Greyhound trainer), officials suspended the game until today at a time and place still to be decided as of Tuesday evening.

I can't wait. A lot still think JW is dominating due to poor competition, but he's absolutely running the entire state of Conneticut this year. He should start from day one at center. He's currently averaging about 37 and 19 a game. Against any competition, those are some great numbers. If JW ends up as good as he can be and Maryland lands Lance Stephenson, next year could be very, very good.

color me skeptical

sounds like the arguments for Nik Caner Medley. Forget the competition, those numbers count against any competition. Believe it when I see it on the floor at Comcast Center. Hope you are right.

Two things

I think Nik did pretty well in his time here. Not great, but he wasn’t horrible. Also, HS games are only 32 minutes. That’s a lot of points in a relatively short period of time. I understand the doubt. Conn. isn’t exactly known for great basketball players. At the same time, I’m not sure how he could be doing any better than he currently is.

From an era of broken backboards...

I remember when backboards were breaking every week…then they invented the rim with a spring that gives…must’ve been an old rim.
Anyway, I’m with you! I’d love to see a few backboards shatter at comcast
