Bill Simmons likes Sean Williams http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;sportCat=nba</p> He ranks the Nets 7th in the East and has some harsh words for Carter.</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>From what I've seen so far, Williams is clearly the most talented rookie other than Kevin Durant, Al Horford and Greg Oden (in absentia). He's a game-changer. He's also someone who had the most character red flags of any potential lottery pick since Eddie Griffin … and, um, Eddie Griffin is dead. There's no way anyone can predict how this could play out. I could see Williams averaging a double-double from December through April. I could see him failing a drug test (like he did back in college in 2005) even as I'm typing this paragraph. I could see him getting a triple-double with points, rebounds and blocks. I could see him showing up on Season 5 of "The Wire" and shooting Snoop or Marlo. I am prepared for ANYTHING from the Sean Williams Era. But at long as he's getting minutes and staying out of trouble, the Nets are a top-six team in the East.</div></p> Now, Bill Simmons is not a great analyst but hes stuff is fun to read. Check out the rest of his rankings, AWESOME.</p>
Bill Simmons makes the Rook out to be a badboy? The review is a bit over the top, but then again he's saying that Sean looks like a top 5 pick? It seems fishy, but it's great news for today. I hope he's right
I thought this was huge; its national recognition of Sean being a top 4 pick in the draft. It also settles my fears that I'm not becoming a homer for this guy, as others are dropping "triple doubles" in their analysis of him. Wow.</p>
I like Bill Simmons' analysis. He clearly watches a lot of basketball, and when he screws up a prediction he makes fun of himself.</p> He's waaaaay off base with Sean's character though. Sean doesn't have an "Eddie Griffin"-type problem, but he might develop a "Vince Carter"-type problem.</p>
