<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'> Sean Williams Rising at the Right Time January 23, 2008, 2:16 pm Writers who follow rookies for NBA.com, Sports Illustrated and ESPN think it’s time to start talking about the NBA Rookie Challenge. Everyone thinks Sean Williams is well qualified at center. Drew Packham of SI is the only one to drop Williams in this week’s rankings, from #6 to #7, while David McMenamin of the NBA and David Thorpe of ESPN put him at #4 and #5. Thorpe gives him high praise for his quickness. John Hollinger (!!) has Williams ranked #1, based on player efficiency. First-year players will line up well in Rookie Challenge - Drew Packham - Sports Illustrated Rookie Rankings -- Week 12 - Dave McMenamin - NBA.com 2007-08 NBA Rookie Class: Top 50 - David Thorpe - ESPN Insider Rookie Watch: Navarro, Noah making some noise - David Thorpe - ESPN Insider Hollinger's Player Statistics - Rookies - John Hollinger - ESPN Insider</div>
Wow, pretty impressive. Even tho PER is pretty weak, Sean is at #1 - and that's a fact, not the opinion of Hollinger. If Sean doesn't start in Rook/Soph game, It'd be a travesty!
