For the Duke Chronicle’s latest player profile, it’s time to look at Mark Williams. And he’s really one of the more interesting players this year.
We can’t remember the exact quote but the other day Coach K was talking about the 7-0 Williams’ length and said “we’ve never really had that before.”
This from a guy who had Shelden Williams and some other notable big guys, but point taken: Williams is probably the longest player at Duke in decades. Maybe Jay Buckley in the early ‘60s was long in the same way but that was a very different time and Buckley wasn’t nearly as athletic as Williams is.
