It is evident Terrence Williams is a player Kings coach Keith Smart quickly
came to trust on the court.

Players on 10-day contracts aren't supposed to be counted on in the fourth
quarter of close games, but Williams has been a big-time player for the Kings
late in games since joining the team last week.

Williams said after the game that he'd already signed to stay with the Kings
the rest of the season. So after two teams in two-plus seasons, the 11th pick
in the 2009 NBA Draft might have found a home with the Kings.
Smart trusted Williams enough in Friday night's 104-103 win over the Utah
Jazz to allow Williams to play "point forward" and direct the offense during
key moments.

"I did it a lot my rookie year (with New Jersey)," Williams said of running
the point. "In Houston I didn't do it a lot but my rookie year. (Friday) was
my first time doing in probably two years, a year and a half. At first it was
a little uncomfortable but I found my stride and it was good."

Williams finished with eight points, six rebounds, four assists and in the
game.

Williams had six point, five rebounds and two assists in the fourth quarter.

When Tyreke Evans plays small forward, the Kings are small in the backcourt
with Isaiah Thomas, Marcus Thornton and Jimmer Fredette.
Williams appears to be a player who can give the Kings size and some more
ball handling in the backcourt.

Here is what Smart said Williams is giving the Kings:

"The ability to rebound as a guard, the ability to defend as a guard, his
ability to be a playmaker. He sees the floor very well. That pass he floated
over to Jason Thompson on the break, that's a tough pass for a guy to make to
get it over the top of the runner, the defender. Then to pass it soft enough
for him to be able to catch it? That's a type of pass that only certain
people can make and this young man can do that. So he gives me that
playmaking ability."

The pass to Thompson came with 2:52 play. Thompson was fouled on the play and
made both free throws bring the Kings within one at 99-98.

"I just wanted (Thompson) to dunk it so I'd get the assist," Williams said
after the game in jest. "The pass was a little tough. The hardest part was
Millsap was running backwards so you have to judge how high (Paul) Millsap
has to jump and not steal the ball. So I just had to lob it over and I'm glad
he caught it."

Williams explained how he was able to grab so many important rebounds in the
fourth quarter:

"Most of the time when you're playing against wings they don't box you out.
That's always the bigs battling, boxing each other out. I let them battle and
I jump, that's how I get the ball."

There were questions about Williams' attitude after his time in New Jersey.
The attitude he's shown with the Kings is what Smart has tried to bring to
the Kings - one where teammates support each other and revel in each other's
success.

Williams hasn't been around for that entire process but he's fit in just fine
with the Kings.

"I love watching his spirit when other guys make plays," Smart said. "You see
him pumping his fist, excited when another guy makes a play defensively or
offensively. I watch everything about our team and I've seen that a couple of
times on tape, that guy, with everything that's been said about him, he has a
winning spirit. We've got to keep molding that, cultivating that to where he
can be a good player for us."
