I was looking through the rest of that article and if there's any rookie that should be learning from Chris Bosh, it'd be Brandon Wright.
I think next year Sean's goal should be averaging 10 pts., 7 rebs, and 2 blocks. And to do that, he needs to avoid fould trouble so he can play between 24-30 minutes a night. That's realistic, since he's averaging about 7, 5 and 1.5 this year. Maybe in two years he can get to 14 and 10. He's got to get stronger and improve his ball handling and footwork. I think he's shown nice touch from 12-15 ft., and that's only going to get better. Someone mentioned he should model his game after Amare. He doesn't have that skill set or strength yet (and might not ever), but he could learn from Amare's great touch around the rim on leaners and floaters and how he draws contact for fouls, rather than avoid it. Sean would be smart to try and do that a little, as would Boone.
using jabs is not effective in my opinion...they may take out the defensive player out of position but it also takes you out of proper position for the shot so it makes the shot harder to make...by the time you get your balance correctly the defender would have already recovered...bosh probably already was doing that move since high school so he can shoot it well out of balance and out of proper position... SWat should first learn how to stroke it when he's free using proper shooting mechanics instead of worrying how to shake off a defender...meaning countless hours learning from thate...

Looking at the article, it's blatantly obvious that these ESPN bums barely know what they're talking about.
He should definately try everything he can to mold himself into Amare Stoudemire. Before the draft a lot of scout said Sean reminded them of a younger and more raw Amare. Also, I know Stromile isn't exactly a great role model but he does have an advanced game of Sean's. He can teach Sean how to be a physical presence and be stronger in the paint. If SWat can stay hungry and get past the rookie wall he's got a great future and the sky's his limit.
Might as well have Sean become like Wilt, if he averages 50 ppg and 20 rpg the Nets would be in good shape.
