CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mark Williams laughed, thinking about the coincidental nature of his latest encounter.
The guy who was hot on Williams’ trail during those recruiting days prior to the Charlotte Hornets’ big man eventually landing at Duke just so happened to be around for the better part of the last week. It’s why Williams couldn’t hide a devilish smirk Tuesday recalling how Patrick Ewing is still busting his chops, constantly poking Williams about choosing the Blue Devils over a certain Big East institution.
“Always, always,” Williams said, chuckling before the Hornets’ 120-100 loss to Toronto at Spectrum Center on Tuesday. “He said you could have come to Georgetown, but he said it all worked out. You are here now.”
