Q&A with Jawad Williams

Posted Oct 24, 2008
Jawad Williams has made it to the NBA. The Cleveland Cavaliers set their roster for the 2008-09 season on Thursday and the former Tar Heel made the final cut. “Actually I went to practice just like any other day and after practice I had a couple of reporters come up to me and tell me congratulations and I asked ‘Congratulations on what?’ They said ‘You made the 15-man roster. When did you find out?’ I said ‘Just now - when you told me.’ So that is how I got the news.” (Inside Carolina)
