NEW YORK -- Glen Williams, a star at St. John's in the 1970s and a second-round draft pick of the Milwaukee Bucks, has died. He was 63.
Williams, who had been battling cancer for the last seven years, died Tuesday, according to Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca.
"He was one of the best two-way players we ever had here," Carnesecca said Wednesday. "He could cover anybody, big or small. He went in the starting lineup as a freshman and never came out."
The 6-foot-6 Williams was born in St. Croix in the Virgin Islands and played high school basketball at Laurinburg Institute in North Carolina.
