    Rockets to bring in former King Williams
    Center to bring much-needed front-court depth


    By JONATHAN FEIGEN

    The Rockets are expected to sign free-agent center Justin Williams to a 10-day contract to add front-court depth after the injury to Yao Ming.

    Guard/forward Bobby Jones' 10-day contract ends after today's game in Dallas.

    Williams, a former Sacramento King, is due in Houston tonight, in time to be on the roster before the Rockets play the Hornets on Saturday night.

    "The Rockets are definitely interested in Justin," Williams' agent, Byron Irvin, said. "We'll see what happens in the next few days.

    "He has a couple teams interested in him. We like the Rockets. He likes the Rockets. They've liked Justin in the past. They brought him in last year and have been watching him the past year or so. They have followed his progress."

    Williams, 6-10, 240, is considered a prolific rebounder and had 12 in 23 minutes against the Rockets last month. In 48 career games, he has averaged 3.4 points and 3.4 rebounds.

    "He's an energy, athletic, shot-blocking kind of guy," Irvin said. "He will learn from someone like Dikembe (Mutombo). He is like a shorter Dikembe."

    OK, now this team has the tendency of signing old Kings players. Say bye bye to the Knicks era.

    He looks like what we all hoped Stromile Swift would be for us. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.

    High energy guy(very high :) ), very quick, but not bulky enough to handle some PFs. Pretty good help defender but when opposition does something complex he's often lost and not in the right place. Don't grasp offense easily. At least in pretty simple Theus' he often looked lost.
    Basicly have two main problems of under-coaching: not enough fundamentals and bball IQ.
