The player Sean needs to emulate...

...on the court that is.

Dennis Rodman!

The premier undersized bigman with amazing athleticism. If Sean can learn to defend and REBOUND like Rodman he will have a nice career. Doesn't even need to be as good because he has a slightly better offensive game.

He has the tools to do it.

 

Sean can start by wearing shorter shorts. lol. Rodman is a genius at rebounding and disrupting the flow of the game. Would be awesome if SWat can become more like Rodman. However, I don't think the league tolerates that style of play anymore.

 

I don't think anyone will ever be like Rodman. I always thought he was one of the most underrated players in the league, he was a game changer with his rebounding and his defensive skills.

 

at 6'7" he had rebounding averages of 11.2, 12.5, 14.3, 14.9, 15, 16.1, 16.8, 17.3, 18.3, and 18.7. 18.7 BOARDS A GAME?! THAT'S NUTS...

 

If he could get 10 RPG I'd be freaking happy. If he turned into Rodman, I'd be scared.

 

I wouldn't say he has a better offensive game than Rodman. Rodman was a pretty good scorer in college and he could have been in the NBA too, he just didn't want to score for some reason.

 

A better offensive Rodman would be ideal, but I am not expecting him to avg more then 7 rbs. We have too many bigs that can or need to rebound. I do want to see him avg2 blks agame.

 

well, according a recent Phil Jackson statement, the best player he's ever coached was Rodman.
hmm..

 

Rodman was an absolute warrior on the court. He would hustle for every loose ball, and rebound like there's no tomorrow. He also Phil Jackson's favorite player to coach, so that says a lot.

I would love for Sean Williams to be like Rodman, just without the off-court theatrics. The thing is, you can't teach how to be Rodman. He's got to have the passion to hustle, defend, and rebound on every play.

 

Not best... he said most athletic.

 

That's the part he needs to emulate. It may not necessarily be teachable, but the switch can go on.

He has the athleticism and he's a smart guy.

 

At one point, I thought Reggie Evans could be the next Dennis Rodman. Nope.

I don't think I'd want Sean to turn out like him, either. I'd rather have him turn out to be like Kevin Garnett, except not a pussy.

 

Sean needs to emulate this guy.

 

Asking for the 17th pick in the draft who barely played ball prior to college to turn out like KG is a bit of a stretch. I would love to see it happen, but I'm not holding my breath. He can't even dominate summer league.

 

Wow...for some reason when i saw the thread title i immediately thought Dennis Rodman

 

holy crap 18.7?!

 

i would pay DR to work with SWat and twin to spend time with Brook (next year that is)

 

KG's a pussy pegs??

 

To emulate Rodman?? you've got to be kidding me! Sean is atrocious rebounder. Atrocious...

 

Pretty much

I wouldn't. Dude's turned into a complete head case. I'd rather have Luc Longley than Dennis Rodman around those kids.
