    Kidd should be vocal in demanding Williams to be the starter so that he can play with each other more. Kidd needs him since he gets beat a lot of times</p>

    by q uicker penetrating guard. With Williams inside the guard will think twice to penetrate.</p>

    Sean's blocking ability is as good as Mourning. I think as long as he is on the court, we can protect our rim very well.</p>

    Including LeBron James, I think we have Sean to protect our paint, it's so nice.</p>

    Good Job, Thorn, Sean Williams is really a gift.</p>

    I'm sure Barney Frank knows his team better than us fans, if Williams deserves more PT, he will get it.</p>

    much like the Birdman clip, I feel this should be seen whenever relevant.</p>

    </p>

    Holy shit.</p>

    On the basis of that youtube clip alone, Sean should be getting 20 minutes a night. He's gotta learn to play D, and maybe work on his jump shot, but holy shit.</p>

    That's like, Shawn Kemp hops there. Oh man.</p>

    among All of our bigmen, he is the only one that is not a bum.</p>

    Krstic sucks. Collins sucks. Allen sucks. Boone sucks. Magloire sucks.</p>

    Sean nice.</p>

    Sean's averaging 2.4 BPG now. He should definitely be leading his rookie class right now. And possibly top ten in all of the NBA, as well.</p>

    What does it matter that he didnt start. He played 28:30 minutes. He may as well have started. Besides, he had 14, 7 and 4.</p>

    So far, this season his 40-minute numbers are 17.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 5.6 blocks.</p>

    He won't approach 40 minutes per game, of course. It's just an indication of what he can do.</p>

    Moreover, his stamina has to be dealt with. He played 69 games in three years of college and will now be asked to play 100 games in one year, between pre-, regular and (maybe) post-season. Stamina was an issue last year for Marcus Williams. It probably will be for Sean as well.</p>

    Sean is a beast. 230 pounds, 4% body fat? He could run a marathon and barely break a sweat. I doubt stamina will be a problem. It was for Marcus beacuse he was a fatass.</p>

    One thing that might be going under the radar is his man to man D. From what I've seen, it's been great. Not a foul machine and smart as hell. Garnett, one of the best post players EVER was having trouble with him. How many rookies have managed that?</p>

    The reasons why are obvious. Number one, his length, which is just crazy. I don't know if he's very tall- looks around 6'8 to me- but he has the reach of a 7 footer. He doesn't even need to jump to contest shots, just stick up his arms. He has the agility of a SF (quickness off his feet, vertical, lateral footspeed) which bodes well for his positioning. And of course, like RJ said, he's a lot stronger than he looks. I don't know if he can gaurd Yao but most everyone else should be OK.</p>

    The best news is he doesn't know a lick about NBA defense.</p>

    I really like this kid, he is the answer to the nets bigmen problem.</p>

    But we need Vince Carter, and Marcus Williams to come back !</p>

    or we will have just like 6 - 13 to start this season again just like what we did before.</p>

    I'm not that worried that about making the playoffs. If anything these early wins are just to boost pride, and self-esteem.</p>

    I know this comment is meant as hyperbole, and it goes off topic, but you clearly don't know what it takes to run a marathon, and your comment is insulting to those that try.</p>

    I'm agreeing with NI here. So what if he didn't start, he still played sig mins. Plus I really like the energy he brings off the bench (for now). It gives the Nets a bigger boost when he comes into the game.</p>

    To me, the reason it matters just has to do with the combinations when he's on the court. He HAS been playing a lot with Kidd and RJ (and I assume will with Carter when he comes back), which is a huge plus. I'd like to see more of a Collins-Sean frontcourt, because I think it would be pretty effective, and Collins is pretty much limited to the start of the first and third quarters, and sometimes part of the fourth. Yesterday, for instance, he didn't play with Collins at all, even though it could have happened with Krstic not playing the second half. Other posters talk about Krstic-Sean, but I think that a Kidd-Carter (I'll take Wright in the meantime)-RJ combined with a Sean-Collins frontcourt would be better. It just strikes me as a unit whose skills would mesh well. Kidd would get to throw some alley-oops, and the fast break would hypothetically improve with two-and-a-half potential finishers. Collins would guard the more difficult big man, but Sean could come over for some blocks when he comes over and helps on defense, which is how he has said he prefers to get his blocks anyway. Also, Collins' stregnths include the ability to make it easier for his teammates to get rebounds, and Sean could take better advantage of this than Krstic does. Since Collins doesn't score, you also need someone who can post up so the defense doesn't cheat as much on the perimeter against Carter. It sounds like I'm recreating Kidd-Kittles-RJ-KMart-Collins, but that's not the intent, although I think it could be effective for the same reasons.</p>

    Again, I certainly don't know nearly as much about play-calling and defensive alignments as other posters here. But it seems to me that this combination would take advantage of everyone's strengths and minimize their weaknesses. I'd love to hear opposing viewpoints, though.</p>
