PrintSo these answers are only coming via Twitter and not actually in print or on audio (yet) but Hawks twitter and the Hawks PR man were relaying answers from a conference call with Marvin Williams.
Here are some quotes. Leading off with my twitted question that Micah Hart relayed about what he has been working on this summer.
"I try to perfect a part of my game each summer...I've been working on my ballhandling."
"I truly feel 100%"
"Coming out of Seattle, Jamal Crawford was the man. He's a good professional, he can really score and will provide a spark."
"I feel Atlanta management is making commitment to keep core group together..."
Not exactly hard hitting stuff, but come on, it's August. Still, I will admit it if I could choose one thing for Marvin to work on this summer I would flip a coin between post moves and ball handling. If Marvin can really improve in that and Woodson gives him the opportunity, the Mustache is going to live at the free throw line next year.
Oh and one final bit of news, Sekou says he is great shape and has a mohawk. I am equally excited about both revelations.
Ok fine it's the mohawk.

Finally...
This will be Marvins break out year. He’s healthy and improving his game, he finally might live up to his #2 pick in the draft. One day I wanna say “Chris Paul,who?, Derron Williams,who?” How can he not be more confident rockin’ a Mohawk and the Stache, this is the year everyone will be doing his duck dance or whatever he does.
here we go
Marvin with better handles? So basically he might end up being the best player on this team? Let’s just hope he gets the opportunity to showcase all of these skills and if Woody finally feel like the team is ready for the real offense then I will write him a letter of apology for all of the things I have said.
the one thing i will say about marvin
ok fine i will say a lot of things, but the one thing this time is that whatever he works to improve on, he has improved on.
it is one of the reasons i think one can still use the word potential with Marvin and not sound like a total idiot.
If Marvin proves he can stand around and dribble for lengthy periods of time, it can only force Woodson to give him the ball more. The more dribbling, the better, because then Woodson doesn’t really have to draw up plays.
I hope he’s not just ignoring his shooting, though, because 35.5% from 3 is valuable, I feel he’s capable of shooting about 38% from 3 and really being a dangerous threat from downtown. It he can improve his shooting and his handles, he might just make that Joe/noJoe debate much more interesting.
if he improved his shooting a bit
and his handle a good bit. he would be a joe. if joe was athletic.
Me too
I love Joe, and I really wish I could find the scenario where the Hawks become a top team in the East with him still here. If he were willing to play about 3-5 fewer minutes per game, and not play such a central role in everything, it might head that way, but the Hawks are still a couple of pieces short.
But you know, I’m incredibly optimistic. Remember that I’m the one who thought the window for winning Hawks basketball would end last season, and instead we’ve got new contracts for Marvin, Zaza, Bibby, and added Jamal Crawford. As it is, I can’t see the Hawks becoming a bad team any time in the next 2-3 years.
I’ll definitely take 3 more years of competitive basketball at this point, even if there’s no threat of a championship, because it’s so much better than the franchise’s recent history.
If by short
You mean in Woody’s Iso-Joe, then yeah, I agree with that. I’m inclined to believe we have the talent in place to make a serious run in any other offense that runs more than one play over and over.
Upon further review
You missed a really good opportunity to invent a word in the title there, Drew.
Something along the lines of “Intwitterview” or just “Twitterview.” Or maybe “intertwittview”
good sign with Marvin
People still try to say we shouldn’t have picked him, but Marvin is going to prove them wrong. Hopefully this year. If he improves his handles then he can finish stronger, put more pressure on the other teams PF/SF. We can run Pick and Rolls with him. Lebron will have to play defense all the way to the rim and hopefully get into foul trouble……these are good signs……but we need that hybrid center/pf to win a title….Amare or Bosh
