Jay Williams is in training camp with the New Jersey Nets and is in the running for a roster spot.

"I feel I've been here five months," he said after yesterday's session. "Just being on the court every day, it's been a while since I've been going three-hour prac tices, then you come back and do another three-hour practice. But the thing is ... I feel great now. I'm still out there. I haven't had any days off. I've been going hard every day. My body's been responding pretty well, so I'm excited about that."

"The fact that he's on the court is unbelievable," Lawrence Frank said. "I think everyone on the team has a great level of respect for what he's been able to overcome. He's got a phenomenal work ethic. He's very, very competitive. We all hope good things happen for him. He's definitely made progress. He's a story definitely worth rooting for."
