Thorn says he thinks the guy's smarts can make up for loss of athleticism.

ESPN.com - NBA - Nets sign Jay Williams 3 years after motorcycle accident (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2606187)

This is a great story. I've been following this guy's progress since he decided he would make an unlikely comeback. Too bad he's going to the Nets. I would have loved to see him in a Pistons uniform as he fits the profile of a Pistons DNA'r. I wish this dude all the best this season!

Considering the fact that the Pistons backup- point guard is L Hunter and we don't have that little man to penetrate ala T Parker, TJ Ford, or even Jameer Nelson, you would think that Joe would have thought about bringing him into training camp for a looksey. I have not seen Blalock play so I cannot say what his upside is yet.

The Pistons were exposed last year with a tired CBill in the playoffs because Joe thought he could carry the dishes alone and sent Arroyo packing.

Jay Williams is just 4 years removed from college player of the year, not that that means anything in these days in time, but he does have a NCCA title like Rip, Delk and Nazr.
