Sean's averaging 2.4 BPG now. He should definitely be leading his rookie class right now. And possibly top ten in all of the NBA, as well.</p>
 
I saw the highlight of the nice alley-hoop dunk he did! He seems like a freak!</p>
 
What does it matter that he didnt start. He played 28:30 minutes. He may as well have started. Besides, he had 14, 7 and 4.</p>

So far, this season his 40-minute numbers are 17.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 5.6 blocks.</p>

He won't approach 40 minutes per game, of course. It's just an indication of what he can do.</p>

Moreover, his stamina has to be dealt with. He played 69 games in three years of college and will now be asked to play 100 games in one year, between pre-, regular and (maybe) post-season. Stamina was an issue last year for Marcus Williams. It probably will be for Sean as well.</p>

</p>
 
Sean is a beast. 230 pounds, 4% body fat? He could run a marathon and barely break a sweat. I doubt stamina will be a problem. It was for Marcus beacuse he was a fatass.</p>

One thing that might be going under the radar is his man to man D. From what I've seen, it's been great. Not a foul machine and smart as hell. Garnett, one of the best post players EVER was having trouble with him. How many rookies have managed that?</p>

The reasons why are obvious. Number one, his length, which is just crazy. I don't know if he's very tall- looks around 6'8 to me- but he has the reach of a 7 footer. He doesn't even need to jump to contest shots, just stick up his arms. He has the agility of a SF (quickness off his feet, vertical, lateral footspeed) which bodes well for his positioning. And of course, like RJ said, he's a lot stronger than he looks. I don't know if he can gaurd Yao but most everyone else should be OK.</p>

The best news is he doesn't know a lick about NBA defense.</p>

I really like this kid, he is the answer to the nets bigmen problem.</p>

But we need Vince Carter, and Marcus Williams to come back !</p>

or we will have just like 6 - 13 to start this season again just like what we did before.</p>
 
I'm not that worried that about making the playoffs. If anything these early wins are just to boost pride, and self-esteem.</p>

I know this comment is meant as hyperbole, and it goes off topic, but you clearly don't know what it takes to run a marathon, and your comment is insulting to those that try.</p>

I'm agreeing with NI here. So what if he didn't start, he still played sig mins. Plus I really like the energy he brings off the bench (for now). It gives the Nets a bigger boost when he comes into the game.</p>

To me, the reason it matters just has to do with the combinations when he's on the court. He HAS been playing a lot with Kidd and RJ (and I assume will with Carter when he comes back), which is a huge plus. I'd like to see more of a Collins-Sean frontcourt, because I think it would be pretty effective, and Collins is pretty much limited to the start of the first and third quarters, and sometimes part of the fourth. Yesterday, for instance, he didn't play with Collins at all, even though it could have happened with Krstic not playing the second half. Other posters talk about Krstic-Sean, but I think that a Kidd-Carter (I'll take Wright in the meantime)-RJ combined with a Sean-Collins frontcourt would be better. It just strikes me as a unit whose skills would mesh well. Kidd would get to throw some alley-oops, and the fast break would hypothetically improve with two-and-a-half potential finishers. Collins would guard the more difficult big man, but Sean could come over for some blocks when he comes over and helps on defense, which is how he has said he prefers to get his blocks anyway. Also, Collins' stregnths include the ability to make it easier for his teammates to get rebounds, and Sean could take better advantage of this than Krstic does. Since Collins doesn't score, you also need someone who can post up so the defense doesn't cheat as much on the perimeter against Carter. It sounds like I'm recreating Kidd-Kittles-RJ-KMart-Collins, but that's not the intent, although I think it could be effective for the same reasons.</p>

Again, I certainly don't know nearly as much about play-calling and defensive alignments as other posters here. But it seems to me that this combination would take advantage of everyone's strengths and minimize their weaknesses. I'd love to hear opposing viewpoints, though.</p>

I've been saying the same thing- Kidd, VC, RJ, Sean, and Collins would be great. Once Sean really starts to gel in with that group, they'll be pretty tough to deal with. I noticed that Sean seemed somewhat lost when DA was PG the other night. I'd like for them to start to work together a bit more, although we'll see what happens when Marcus comes back (and if Boone wil be getting more time when he does)
 
Williams may soon become a starter</p>

BOSTON -- There was nothing coach Lawrence Frank said to suggest it, but it would appear that the Nets are moving inexorably to a lineup change.</p>

It's a simple matter of efficiency: Nenad Krstic couldn't get anything going in his 13 minutes during last night's 91-69 loss to the Celtics, while rookie Sean Williams continued to dazzle everyone with a strong game across the board, including 14 points, seven rebounds and four blocks in 28 minutes</p>

Christ, Collins is horrible.</p>

</div></p>

so, who would you play? Magloire, who is 2-17 from the field, can't hit foul shots, and is a turnover machine? Malik Allen, who is 9-31 and can't rebound? Boone, who looks like he'd rather be reading a book? Maybe you'd like to start Nachbar at PF, who can't hit a shot, makes lazy passes, and can't defend? It's easy to criticize Collins, but someone else has to step up. Maybe Collins doesn't offer much, but it is pretty damning to be able to say that no one else has been better. Sean Williams has rightfully been playing a lot, but who else? Jesus, Jizzy, stop ragging mercilessly on Collins and offer a suggestion. I swear, I have better conversations with my two-year-old.</p>
 
At least, other players try. Not like Collins, just stop there, and not to give the contributions on the paper to cover his impotent.</p>
 
When he puts Collins in there you are pretty much giving away 10 to 15 poinsts. How do teams defends against them? They only try to stop 4 people.
5 against 4, not a bad deal for the other teams. How does Collins constribute by taking charges? 0 to 4 points maybe.</p>

</p>

</p>
 
I don't see why not give him a shot. If he plays well then that's great. If he doesn't we stick Twin right back in there since he can't be traded since nobody wants him.</p>
 
Nets would lose by 170 points if they played Magloire and Malik Allen instead of Collins. The problem isn't Collins, it's the inability to develop someone who is better than he is, as pathetic as that sounds. Free agency is a fool's game.</p>
