it looks like this was Swat's proving game, he proved that he can hold KG, one of the elite, on defense, and have some sweet chemistry with JKidd on offense. the way he was running and jumping and catching that ball looked like he was a damn football player! with that said, I'd like to see him be the first big off the bench and perhaps work his way into starting postion during certain games mid-late season, and definitly be a starter next season.

Starting Sean could maybe make Magloire and Allen work harder? I sure wouldn't be too happy with a 21 year old lanky center beating me out.</p>

Just my thoughts.</p>
 
If we start Sean our bench is going to take a serious hit. Not to mention he could get into early foul trouble and be rendered ineffective for the rest of the game. I presonally feel that him starting the game from the bench can give him a better idea of what he's up against and what we need from him when he gets in there. I don't know why we need to throw him right into the starting lineup, and especially not at the expense of Collins as some are suggesting, when our bench clearly needs a game changer off of it and he can still play meaningful minutes to boot. He's the perfect guy to have on the floor as the starters return at the midway point in the second to keep the energy going(much like Hassan did) to along with Wright, Kidd, and RJ. Nenad is doing fine in the starting lineup he just needs to be more involved offensively and put in better places to succeed.</p>
 
You guys are all mini-Franks. Sean clearly outplayed every of our bigs last night and it's not as if any of our bigs infront of Sean are dominating right now. Why not start him and see what he does? You guys act as if he's the next Wright and his confidence will be shattered or assume he'll have a bad night. What if he has a good game and energizes this team?</p>
 
Um. I'm gonna be silly and say that this kid should start. He should get used to it asap. Give him some starting time, a bit to start the third and get him in as a closer.
He is our best prospect at that position. Nenad Kristc is not ready for prime time, good things will happen if we let Williams start.
 
Plus, if Krstic comes off the bench, and we maintain that throughout the season, his contract value might drop a few million,
 
Krstic, Williams, Jefferson, Nachbar and Kidd should start. Wright can sub for Nachbar and Jefferson.</p>
 
I agree, I think we should bench Krstic, he needs to start from the Bench.</p>

Let's start Sean or Magloire. Josh ... sigh.</p>
 
I do not expect Sean to start. Not with Frank. But I hope he gets his PT on the regular basis.</p>
 
Sean and Collins should be joined at the hip and come in and out of the game together. I really think that they will complement each other very, very well.</p>

I completely agree. I think Collins + S. Williams would work very well together for reasons that I've said before, while I've long had my doubts about Collins + Krstic. Collins doesn't play very much, however, and they should take Collins and Williams out simultaneously. Once healthy, Krstic would obviously play more than either Collins or Williams, but I'd continue to play him off the bench.</p>

What the hell? I had to read this twice, to make sure I read that right.</p>

Not saying you're all wrong, Dumpy, but you're the last person I'd expect to go along with this type of thing.</p>

I don't completely agree with you, there. While Sean may be playing good basketball right now, I'm not so sure he should start right away.</p>

Really now, think about it. Sean's only gotten garbage minutes, when the team was either down alot, or for less than a minute for his shot-blocking abilities. We don't really know what he would do with alot of meaningful minutes.</p>

I say don't start him, but give him more minutes. Hell, give him 30 minutes in one game just to see what he'd do. Have him be the first big off the bench. If he's successful, keep doing it.</p>

If he's successful for a string of games, and it looks like he could handle it, THEN think about starting him.</p>

I'd say give him a couple months. He's still a rookie, and he still needs to get completely integrated with this team, just like Magloire and Armstrong.</p>
 
You don't want to start the rookie, that's just putting undue pressure on the guy. Maybe after a month of quality time off the bench. It really doesn't matter much really, only how much minutes he gets. Collins has started past two games but has only averaged 14 mpg. I'd like to see Sean come in after Magloire next game- if he does well, give him hefty second half minutes. If not, take your lumps, you know what he can do. It's not even in question that he's helped this team more than Boone.</p>
 
Sean Williams should start...in the developmental league. The only place where I could trust a kid this raw with the responsibility of starting and and being a leader is where he could dominate and learn at the same time. Otherwise, I'd rather take the load off his shoulders and play him from the bench to learn fromthe veterans.</p>
 
I think he should be the first big off the bench and bring the energy. I know this is a ridiculously extreme comparison but the way he blocks shots is like Bill Russell. Sean has more hops but Russell would like the offensive player think that he had position and then just send his ass to the stands. Thats exactly what Sean does except he has to get used to doing it better in the NBA because it was too easy for him in college.</p>

Russell was a smart player. When he had to block a shot, he often tried to block it so it would go in the direction of a teammate. Still he sent many into the rafters when that wasn't an option. Nor would he try to block every shot; so like you say, the opposition never knew when it was coming.</p>

Which reminds me. Bill Russell is one of the many reasons that I grew up hating the Celtics!!</p>

Why not?</p>

You shouldn't be so needy that you have to start a thread with a lie.</p>

This should be our new lineup</p>

Magloire
Sean Williams
RJ
Wright
Kidd</p>

I don't care one whit about titles. Starter? reserve? who cares? All I know is that I believe that Sean would be effective playing alongside Collins. Unless you advocate removing Collins from a starting role, that would dictate that Sean play either at the start of the first quarter, the start of the third quarter, or (sometimes) some parts of the fourth quarter. It seems like the fourth quarter is often used for the Kidd-Carter-Wright-Jefferson-Collins unit, so that would seem to be out.</p>

It'd be alot of pressure, and a big jump to go from garbage minutes to starter. Do you really think Sean could handle it?</p>

Obviously, thinking about his past, he's probably the type of person who is not very mentally strong. John Lucas even said that he needed people basically babysitting him. Add that to the fact that he's a rookie, and I'm not so sure about throwing him into the starter's role. That's big responsibility.</p>

Give him more minutes, let him get comfortable with his teammates off the bench in a bigger role than garbage minutes. Then, if he handles that well, start him.</p>
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Jizzy)</div><div class='quotemain'></p>

Krstic is not ready, bring him off the bench to play against backup scrubs. Sean is our best big and his weakside shotblocking will compliment Collins post defense. To bad Sean won't play next game</p>

</div></p>

</p>

how about playing sean with krstic/boki or big cat so he doesn't need to an important part of the offense. Playing him with collins will be kinda counter productive because its rare that teams have two bigs who NEED to be stopped.</p>

I agree with this 100% and am interested in your future endevors in proving this to be true.</p>

Sean is mentally strong, he already prove that on the court.</p>
