He is now the league’s top shooter, at 65.7%,its seventh bestshot blockerat 2.4 per game,and first in blocks per 48 minutes at 6.0. Among rookies, he is first in blocks, fourth in both scoring (9.6 ppg) and rebounding (4.9 rpg) . However, he has yet to record his first NBA assist. Ball handling is not his strength.</p>
I could see him averages 15 points7 rebounds3 blocksin his rookie season, If he keeps starting all season long.</p>

Over the past three games, he is averaging 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks. </p> </p>
He had that nice pass to Jefferson that turned out to be 2 points. Also, when he gets the ball at the three point line and starts dribbling, I do not fret it as much as I would with Magloire or Collins.</p> He is fitting in quite well.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetIncome)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> However, he has yet to record his first NBA assist. Ball handling is not his strength.</p> </div></p> Damn! We can't use him as a backup PG. What a shame!</p> </p>
Other than an attempt at (missed) humor, my point is that the one thing that he has not shown yet is good ball-handling. He has a high number of turnovers per 48 and no assists. We've seen the athleticism, very good hands, some range, a hint of post moves (against Miami), and an ability to pick things up quickly.</p> He is by no means a finished product and I suspect that he will have some bad games--maybe a few in a row, maybe on this trip--as well as good ones. Obviously, none of us (nor the Nets brass) predicted anything near this. And I find it difficult to criticize Frank for not starting him before Game 9. It's not as if he was a high lottery pick...and it's not as if those taken before him are getting so many more minutes than he has.</p> In fact, as far as starting, Sean Williams is in the minority among players taken early in the draft. Mike Conley at #4, Yoakim Noah at #9, Thaddeus Young at #12; Julian Wright at #13; Al Thornton at #14; and Nick Young at #16 have all yet to start an NBA game. Greg Oden at #1; Brandon Wright at #8; Spencer Hawes at #10; and Rodney Stuckey at #15 have all been injured and haven't played. Corey Brewer at #7 has started one game. So of the first 17 players taken in the draft, 10 have yet to start an NBA game and two others, Williams and Brewer, have started one each.</p>
His turnovers seem to come on dropped passes, not on making bad passes. It seems like when he gets the ball relatively close to the basket, he barrels to the bast and shoots, regardless of how far he is. I haven't seen him try to pass out of the post; I think that will come with experience and when he can control his excitement a little bit more. He just needs to be an average passer to find an open RJ or Wright or Carter.</p>
By now, I think the top 3 big men this draft should be Al Horford, Sean Williams, and Yi Jianlian.</p> Sean Williams is definitely better than Yi at Efficiency (Points, Rebounds, Blocking, Field Goal in 48 minutes).</p> Kevin Durant is not a big man.</p>
I think one of the most important aspects of Sean's game is his ability to hit his free throws. With how hard he attacks the rim, he's bound to be fouled a lot during the game. Being able to make his free throws in those situations is huge.</p>
I think the first few games of the schedule for Sean is almost perfect.</p> He already tasted the battle between Shaq, Howard, and KG.</p> Now, he won't be afraid to meet the other big men.</p>

The same has happened to sean because if we were 8-2 with collins and krstic starting i doubt that we would be even considering starting sean</p> </p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (paulvard)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Sean Williams is going to be the next Tim Duncan.</p> </div></p> </p> No, not even close(I mean Tim Duncan)</p> hum, joke, but he would be a very special player.</p> He will be an all-star.</p>
I really hope he develops a post game at one point in his career. I don't want him to completely rely on the pick and roll and feeds from Kidd to score, just like Boone.</p>
