Marcus Williams led the Nets with 19 points, but shot just 5-of-18 from the field. Hassan Adams recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 boards, and Robert Hite hit 4-of-5 from downtown. J.J.

Damn, horrible stats for them in the off-season so far. I just got NBA TV, so I hope I get to see them play.
Sean Williams 1-3 he had 4 turnovers 8 fouls 2 points 3 blocks and i think 2 boards. not impressive not bad though comparing him to other bigs (every big has been in foul trouble that is a rookie) i like the three blocks though
Well a lot of the rookie big men seem to be fouling machines, and some of the non rookie big men as also getting a lot. Remember the refs are also rookie refs, but: Greg Oden - 9 FPG / 4 TPG / 24.5 MPG Jason Smith - 6 FPG / 2 TPG / 27 MPG Glen Davis - 6 FPG / 3.5 TPG / 28 MPG Jackie Butler - 7 FPG / 2.67 TPG / 27 MPG Dwayne Jones - 6 FPG / 5 TPG / 20.5 MPG Diop - 4 FPG / 1.5 TPG / 24.5 MPG (he's blocking 4 shots a game though) A.Johnson - 6 FPG / 2.5 TPG / 22.5 MPG Mensah-Bonsu - 3 FPG / 5 TPG / 24 MPG O'Bryant - 4 FPG / 1 TPG / 21 MPG I don't think some of these guys foul rates are that high in the NBA. But I think Williams was expected to be a foul machine as a rookie anyways, a lot of young bigs who we'd have called smarter players than him were foul machines too.
