[pegs]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Rod Thorn has added his voice to that of Lawrence Frank&rsquo;s on whether the team has any concerns about Sean Williams&rsquo; character following his late arrival on Friday. &ldquo;No,&rdquo; said Thorn in response to the question. &ldquo;This (tardiness) is something that&rsquo;s (happened) but I don&rsquo;t see it holding him back.&rdquo; The Nets president, like his coach, also praised Williams&rsquo; development saying he has gotten better &ldquo;virtually by the week.&rdquo;</div></p>

Nets not worried about Sean Williams - Julian Garcia - New York Daily News</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Frank didn't reveal Williams' excuse on Friday, saying only that it was a "very viable" one for those who are "into excuses." Williams said he hit traffic on his way to the Nets' practice facility in East Rutherford, where the team met before boarding a bus to Philadelphia.</div></p>

Damn traffic. He should get a helicopter.</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"Sean has done a terrific job and he's gotten better virtually by the week," Thorn said. "This (tardiness) is something that's (happened) but I don't see it holding him back."</div></p>

That's pretty cool. I can't way to see how he plays. I wanna see how much he progressed since Summer League.</p>

Damn it, he should play next game, go, I predict 7 points 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in 20 min.</p>

He seems like he never had a good coach that really got him. Frank seems like he really is getting him playing his best. At 21, this could help our future.</p>

it seems that frank and the players are very impressed with sean and i think they are cautious and do not want to say too many positive things and fill his head up. you can see how frank speaks about him that he does love what he sees but the truth is that he never played again legit nba talent and you dont want to praise him so much then see him struggle or completely fail. usually we are thin in the frontcourt every year, but the year we get a guy like sean we actually have frontcourt talent who are pushing him to the back of the line. i really do hope that he has a stellar preseason and makes frank play him while krstic is gone. i am so beyond excited to see sean play. when i go to the knicks/nets game thursday i hope he plays 40minutes. i just wana watch him the entire game.. boki as well.</p>

I like that they're being hardline while still being mellow about this. It's a good way to get him to be more professional.</p>
