I've yet to seem him play tho' I'm looking forward to it. Now, I've heard a lot about how raw he is but what's scaring me is that he seems to pick up fouls like crazy (going back even to the summer league). What is he doing? Jumping over the top of people? Pushing out? Reaching in? or what?</p> Is this something that looks like he can cut down on? I guess a lot of us here would like to see what he can do this year given some playing time. But that's going to be hard if he's on the bench with a quick DQ.</p>
I haven't seen much myself, but I would attribute it to being out of position on defense, and then trying to do something late. Boone made a lot of these dumb fouls last year, and I would expect Sean to make more of them from his lack of recent experience. He's around a veteran, contending team so I'm sure they won't let him keep make the same mistakes.</p>
Theearlier he made the errors, The better for himself. He needs to try error, and he will be experienced and play better in the regular season.</p>

I'd rather have Sean get through his growing pains the preseason then the regular season. We were impressed by how Boone was playing towards the end of the year, and that was after missing preseason and the first couple months of the regular season. Would it then be unreasonable to think that Sean could have an impact sooner in the year?</p> </p>
that's an awesome SW banner. I agree, once he gets these jitters out of his system, and it may take a while, but not as long as others, he's going to be an unstopable monster. Him and Boone, to use another wrestling tag team reference, are going to be Two Dudes with Attitudes.
He's a rookie, and he does a lot of defensive work in the paint, so he's going to get a lot of foul calls.</p> It's not something he needs to worry too much about. He'll never get enough minutes where fouling out is an issue.</p> He will be able to be as aggressive as he needs to be while he's in the game.</p> What's more important is that he knows all his assignments and doesn't look clueless and out of position like Josh Boone did for most of last season.</p>

Rookie shotblockers are easy to call silly/easy fouls on.</p> </p>
I love this kid and I think he's going to be amazing. But, they need to put him in more in the preseason because so far when he's on the court he runs around clueless and his teammates push him to where he's supposed to be. He doesn't know what he's doing, but as soon as he touches the rock he'll embarass the guy guarding him with a dunk on his face.</p>
It's not like he is the number one pick and has to produce now. He can have some troubles in the beginning because in a split second he can get playing time once he shows his real stuff.</p>
Williams just needs to get used to NBA play. As he gains more experience so will his understanding of what he can do on the floor, and what he will get called for. Give it some time.</p>

Then, he could make his rookie mistakes, and get a feel for the NBA game.</p>
