Terrance Williams Talks About Joining The Kings
Sacramento Kings's guard Terrence Williams talked about coming to Sacramento. He said that his mindset has changed since coming to Sacramento, and that he has learned to let his basketball skills speak for itself.
Next, Terrence talked about Head Coach Keith Smart. He said that coach Smart has a lot of confidence in him, and that has been a new thing for him. Terrence said that he's never had a trusting coach, and having a coach that trusts him has allowed him to relax and know that he can just play without worrying about being pulled out for making a mistake.
A new team meant new teammates for Terrence Williams, and he said that he has enjoyed his new teammates in Sacramento. He said that the Kings have played a lot of close games and that the players never quit and will not be pushed over. Terrence said that there's a lot of talent in Sacramento that just needs to come together.
Grant asked about Terrence's best attribute on the floor. Terrence said that his best attribute would be his passing ability and his ability to see the floor. He said that every NBA player has the physical skills to make chest passes, bounce passes and behind-the-back passes, but his ability to read the court is what separates him from other guys.
Terrence also talked about making the most of his opportunity in Sacramento. He said that his career has had some low points, but he's had a strong supporting class with close friends and family that have helped him through tough times. He said that he hasn't let things other things people say get to him. He said that he needs to be consistent, and that even playing for Louisville he would play to make others better and puts his teammates first. He also talked about how the lockout affected him as a young player in the league.
One of the teammates that Terrence has taken a real liking to is Jimmer Fredette, who he rooted for even before coming to Sacramento. He said that he tries to help Jimmer out, and will try and get him the ball any time he can. He said he has the confidence in Jimmer to make a shot no matter where he is on the floor.
Finally, Grant asked Terrence about this style of underhand pass that he utilizes on the court. Interestingly, Terrence developed this type of passing by shooting at the gym with his girlfriend. He said that his girlfriend has long nails, so she had to throw him the ball underhand. He said that style of passing gave him the ball in a favorable position to shoot, so he started using it on the court, and it's been very successful for him.
