We've watched three of their games on film. They play in a very good league and finished second. Their 6-foot-9 kid (Ronald Wright) leads the country in blocked shots. They have great size and they're an excellent shooting team.

Williams is a very good defensive presence, sometimes we may happen to get beat, and he's there to take care of the work, and it gets us in a good flow in our defensive game.
