Lou Williams is excited to run the point for the 76ers.

Philadelphia lost starting point guard Andre Miller to Portland via free agency this summer.

"I'm anxious, I'm ready to go," Williams told the Philadelphia Daily News. "It's going to be exciting to really show what I got, what my capabilities are."

Williams hasn't played the position regularly since high school.

"I realize the responsibility of being a starting point guard," he said. "I'm just excited more than anything. I'm not nervous. I'm not scared. This is something I've been ready for for a long time. I'm just ready to get it going.

"Professionally, it's new waters, but it's something I've done from 8 to 18. I think it will be territory that's revisited. It's something that I've been used to my whole life. Coming off the bench was an adjustment for me. I think that this is something that won't take me as long to get adjusted to, because, like I said, I did it my entire career when I wasn't a professional."
