    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Williams is a special talent and is better offensively than scouts initially thought. Bosh is one of the finest offensive talents in the world, combining quickness and agility with great timing and shot-making skills. If Williams can learn to beat defenders from the high post by using solid jabs and counters when they take his jump shot away, like Bosh does, he can become the two-way player the Nets have lacked at power forward since Kenyon Martin.</div>

    If Williams becomes half the offensive player Bosh is, I'd be happy.

    its goin to be a lot of hard work for swat to become bosh... he needs to establish a consistent midrange jumper... cuz if he doesnt have that, defenders just back off to play the drive...

    As long as Sean doesn't become a complete jump shooter, like Bosh is at times, I don't mind this at all.

    Although, I would rather have him develop a post up game before he develops moves in the high post. That should be his number 1 priority, IMO. We already have a big man who can shoot from mid-range in Krstic. Sean should be studying Tim Duncan, not Chris Bosh.

    is it me or does sean play awkwardly to you? like his offensive game isn't smooth and he doesn't seem balanced in a way. the way he plays offensively just doesn't seem fluid. sometimes when he grabs rebounds too, he just seems off balance even tho he's by himself.

    Putting up 25 ppg for a big man isn't easy.

    KG never has put up 25 ppg anytime over his career. Tim Duncan did once, but his second closest season is 23.3 ppg.

    Honestly I want Sean studying Kenyon Martin film. Sean's got a decent nose for running the break, but his priority should be back-to-the-basket post moves, and then extending the range to his jumper.

    ^ i don't really care if sean become a dominant offensive threat, i just want him to keep the defense honest. we already have boone who is clueless outside of 5 ft from the basket. a post set and a jumpshot would do but most importantly, confidence. he cannot stop shooting even if he misses 2-3 in a row.

    imagine if sean had sam perkins range.

    Kenyon Martin might be a more realistic goal. Aside from the length and athleticism, there's not much in common with Chris Bosh. Bosh came into the league with an already pretty developed offensive game and a pretty diverse skillset.

    I rather have him study KG. He's a guy that is not very strong physically, but very strong mentally. Both have narrow frames and great athleticism. I don't think he will ever be KG, but he won't be Bosh either. Might as well study the master rather than a disciple.

    Nenad needs to study (actually all big men should) Duncan's footwork, patience and passing ability in the post. If he could learn half of what he does it would improve his game tremendously. I think he can.

    I wouldn't mind him becomming something close to Chris Bosh as long as Collins never comes back to the East.

    His back to the basket game is akward like someone stated and he has a nice first step and speed but he doesn't often use it right.
