    I can't see him becoming another Amare. Amare has range out to 18-20 feet. We don't see that (yet) from Williams. Amare's rebounding is as much a factor of his physical strength as it is his athletic ability. I don't see him with that that level of strength anytime soon. His frame is narrower than Amare's and right now there is a 15 pound weight disparity.</p>

    What I do see is someone who has great athletic gifts and is willing to learn. I think he could be a 15/7.5/2.5 guy in the league...a steal at #17.</p>

    You're ridiculous. You know his averages to the decimal point? 3 assists? Sean has shown me no ability to pass nor the ability to develop a passing game. You realize that the best passing big men in this league: Duncan, Yao, Shaq are getting around 3apg. And you think Sean will get there? Give me a break.</p>

    Like I said, Sean has shown me no more than Stromile Swift did his rookie year. The ability to block shots and dunk with power. It looks fine and dandy right now as a rookie, but eventually that's not going to be enough. He roams too much around to get his blocks, often leaving his man. He's a product of his athleticism. His basketball IQ is still yet to be developed, if it ever will.</p>

    Stromile Swift wasn't one of the leaders in FG% when he was a rookie. Just by reading this I could tell you haven't watched Sean play much. He has a nice jumper in the paint, a soft touch around the rim and he is already a better defensive player than Swift. The Amare comparissons aren't accurate but he will be much better than Swift.</p>

    A cross between Amare and Tyson is what I see, but I think the most worthwhile assesment is that both those two have individual games built on athletics and the character to be their own man. I think Sean will be a unique player, and I don't care who he's compared to (and that may change month to month) as long as his game keeps growing.

    The crazy dunk he did in the Lakers game reminded me of Hakim Warrick back in college.</p>

    Thanks for makin my day there </p>

    Funny thing is, that's not even close to his best dunk. You should ask Royal Ivey.</p>

    Wow, I am pretty sure everyone knew 2.5 means 2.5 blocks, not assists. Heh that's quite an overreation on a mistake.</p>

    William's athleticism and defense makes him the next Dennis Rodman.</p>

    Honestly Im seeing the eventual product being a more athletic Marcus Camby, if all things go to plan. He is still a very odd player to watch but he is unexpectedly effective...</p>
