It is too much, the guy looks like a hard worker though so I don't see why he couldn't become something close to Amare.</p>
 
I don't see the comparison at all. If anything, he hasn't done more than show me that he can be the next Stromile Swift. Kenyon Martin is still a stretch.</p>
 
this was so long ago i saw this way before the draft</p>
 
What contemptuous bullshit...comparing him to Stromile Swift. To be expected.</p>
 
Actually he seem very smart. for someone who has played so little organized ball, he seems to pick up things very quickly. Look how long it took players like Boki and Wright to be comfortable in franks systems.</p>
 
I really saw nothing in that video, that a guy like Noah couldn't do there. While Sean Williams will be great, comparing him to Amare, is a bit premature. I think it is very possible, but Amare has a lot more to his game, even at a young age, while Williams is still a bit raw. However, I can see Williams becoming an Amare type player, possibly being way better inside.</p>
 
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>
 
I think, with all things considered, including the knee injury factor, it'd be close.</p>
 
This seasons just a starting point but if works on his game the way Wright has put into it, he could easily get the range Amare has.</p>

I don't see him being like Amare but like NI said, a 17/7/2 type guy.</p>
 
I could see him become Stromile Swift with a functiong brain and better shotblocking(is this one or two words?) ability.</p>
 
He's good right now but a lot of hard work during the off season and he'll be more productive than any big the nets have, with the exception of krstic maybe. Krstic may never be the same again.</p>
 
I don't think there's anything wrong with a Stromile comparison if we're talking athletics. For all of Stromile's retardation mentally he's still a pretty scary athlete. You can't compare the two mentally as Sean has already displayed a better BBIQ IMO. While Sean does get in foul trouble sometimes it's usually from ticky tack stuff and trying to cleanup someone elses mess. The one thing that I love is that he is amazing at contesting shots and avoiding contact, the problem that most rookie shotblockers have. He has a high ceiling but i'd rather just watch him grow than try and give him some benchmark because while there are guys similar to his style of play nobody really has the same unfazed demeanor, especially at his age. Not to mention he's already a better defender than Amare is currently.</p>

The crazy dunk he did in the Lakers game reminded me of Hakim Warrick back in college.</p>
 
People are saying Kenyon and Amare, but he's not a perimeter defender like Kenyon was, and he's not strong enough, or offensively gifted enough, to be considered the next Amare.</p>

How about the next Ben Wallace?</p>

If he picks up his perimeter D, gain some weight, and rebound better then I would agree.</p>

</p>
 
Tyson Chandler. Shotblocking, post O/D, athletic, reasonable midrange.</p>
 
I think Sean Williams is Ben Wallace alike.</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>

</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.

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>
 
A smalled Tyson Chandler is the best comparo</p>
