Williams Sits Out After Arriving Late for Shootaround

[pegs]

For those of you who haven't heard yet, Williams was late for shootaround, and sits out the 76ers game.</p>

Courtesy of Netsdaily:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sean Williams arrived 15 minutes late for shootaround Friday afternoon and, as a result, is not playing in the first preseason game in Philly. Lawrence Frank doesn&rsquo;t want to make a big deal out of it though, and says that the rookie has been impressive in camp so far.</div></p>

Its dissapointing but its fucking pre-season, if this happens later on then I'll be worried.</p>

haha I've spent the last couple of minutes watching the boxscore and couldn't figure out for the life of me why Sean wasn't getting ANY minutes. Thanks for clearing this up peg</p>

Sean you big dummy
How can you be the savior
If you do not play.</p>

That's in the wrong thread.</p>

I don't get the comments by the beat writers that he missed a great opportunity with so many players not on the court last night. He isn't going to be effected by the return of Carter or Jefferson. In fact, the opposite might be true. The starting bigs played a lot of minutes against Philly. They will need more of a rest now as a result. He should a lot of time on court vs. Charlotte. Will be interesting to see what he can do.</p>

This bothers me. Maybe it shouldn't so much but it does. Hope it isn't a sign of things to come.</p>

If I were him, I'd be ticked off and start hustling like never before.

 

[pegs]

I'd be very interested to see the reason as to why he was late. That's surprising....</p>

 

[Universe]

He was hustling..</p>

Pathetic.</p>

 

[JAMES.SLIMM]

Frank said he had a valid reason for being late so... that's that</p>

Don't be so quick to judge...as JAMES said, Frank said there was a valid reason. For all you know, there could have been a family emergency, or his car broke down.</p>

Let's wait and see if anything else like this happens with Sean...I'm remaining hopeful this isn't really anything to worry about.</p>
