cant stop thinking about all the alley oop highlights of TP with him
If the price for him is reasonable, I would definitely take him. Sounds like this kid plays with a mean streak, which the Spurs could always use. Theoretically speaking, by this time next year the Spurs could have potentially have 3, young bigs to develop(Mahinmi, Gist, and Williams). Out of those 3, I would think 2 of them would make the team. Just doing a little dream here, but you never know.
Why did he get kicked off the team at Boston College?
I think it was marijuana.
Sean Williams can most certainly not play the 3 position. He's a big man in every sense of the word, with a big mans game. Dunks, rebounds and blocks. Comparing him to Odom, Diaw etc is absolutely ridiculous. Both those guys have had minutes at PG in the NBA.
Nets don't want him because of his at ude, but his at ude is there because he's playing behind 2 other young big men that the Nets are developing instead..Boone and Lopez..he told the Nets directly that he didn't want them to pick up his option..
Lawrence Frank is one of the worst coaches in the NBA though, and not a guy that can get the most out of his players..
I don't know what it would take though..Thorn is a good GM, so it'll take a good deal..
On the laughable suggestion that he is a 3, consider this from Hollinger:
2007-08 season: Williams can finish, rebound and block shots. What he can't do, apparently, is remember plays, and that's what limited his playing time as a rookie. The 6-10 forward certainly showed NBA skills, however. He led all power forwards in blocks per minute, shot 53.8 percent from the floor, and despite a lack of muscle had one of the highest rates of free-throws at his position.
OK, now for the bad news. For starters, he can't handle the ball at all. Williams was 59th out of 62 power forwards in assist ratio and 58th in turnover ratio. He's also not much of a shooter -- he only made five long 2s all season -- which is a problem when he's playing power forward and may ultimately force him to play center despite being undersized.
Scouting report: A spectacular shot-blocker, Williams can leap and has great timing. However, he's not a good defensive player at this point because he was so confused on team defense and frequently out of position. Additionally, his lack of strength is a problem in post defense and on the boards.
Offensively, Williams flies up and down the floor and can get easy baskets in transition, plus he's a solid finisher off passes in the half court. He has no post game and only limited range, and as mentioned above he's a very poor ball handler.
I'd say he's likely playing behind Boone and Najera. Remember the Spurs were very interested in Najera - until the Nets offered him a slightly better contract offer.
Pot, which has apparently affected his ability to remember plays.
yes, but Najera isn't playing much for the Nets, and he's been terrible when they've played him..
Williams just isn't gonna play for the Nets ahead of Boone or Lopez, and Yi is ahead of him too(but Yi doesn't play at all like a big man on either side of the floor)..
Wow. Najera not playing much? Big surprise. Thorn made such a big deal about getting him. He was the ONE player I wanted to see the Spurs go after. Sometimes, I guess the best deals are the ones you don't make.
Also, I forgot that Yi had been traded there too. No wonder Williams can't see the floor - other than the fact that he's probably not developed at the rate they would've preferred.
