Chanieka Williams

She'll be at the cuse this fall I was just curious what people knew about her game and how she'll fit in at the cuse?

Syracuse has a a starter returning from injury, two McDonalds AAs, and a Junior College AA joining them all at the guard spot this season. Honestly, i don't think Williams will get many minutes.

I know that but I was curious about her game not if she is going to play a lot as a freshmen.

Nieka is a team player and played the same role as Wadethered described as a freshman in high school. The following year she took on a much bigger role as a sophomore which contributed to a State Championship. She is very crafty on offense and has a lot of heart.
Here is a link to her player profile that Glenn reated on the scout site http://girlshoops.scout.com/a.z?s=209&p=8&c=1&nid=2736848
Also her is his assesment of her in a story:
"Chaneika Williams, a 5-9 guard at Garfield, is appropriately heading to a high major Division I program in Syracuse. She is strong, fearless and tough, versatile and extremely coachable. To the last point, Williams pitched in for the undersized Bulldogs with a monster performance on the glass, helping her to 12 of her 20 points during the second quarter. She excels at breaking down defenders and creating her own shot, either at the rim or of pull-up variety about anywhere on the court, but also defends very hard"

Adding to that ...

I helped out at practices with 'Nieka's high school. She is about as coachable as they come. She is respectful and listens, then she goes out and works her heart out. She's a true gem.
