Sean Williams to be waived

[jdpapa3]

Shelden Williams makes the most of his talent. It's not his fault the NBA scouts overrated him. Sean, on the other hand, has bountiful talent and is a moron.

Guaranteed ubuntu killer right here. And he would be back in Boston where he gets into most of his trouble.

[Roy Hobbs]

No thanks.  New Jersey was stupid waste a 1st rounder on this waste of space.  Until he gets his priorities in order, he's not going to help an NBA team.

Wouldn't you have said the same thing about Sheldon Williams before this season? The Hawks wasted the 5th overall pick on Sheldon, but when you surround him with vet defensive minded teammates and limit his role he can be a good solid big man off the bench.

I think you could see a similar result if Sean Williams were to ever join this team. When young players are all on the same team like NJ they are very selfish because they want to put up numbers so they can earn a second contract. When you put him on a vet championship contender as their 12th or 13th man I think he would fall right in line. It's a low risk high reward situation. This would likely be his last shot to stick in the NBA so if that didn't motivate him we could just cut him.

There's a fundamental difference between the two Williams.  Shelden is a hard-working, high-character guy who doesn't necessarily have the skills to thrive in the NBA.  Sean is a lazy, low-character moron who lacks defensive fundamentals and any offensive skills whatsoever, but who has fantastic jumping skills.

In other words, Shelden makes a fine role-player.  Sean should be in the D-League.

Do you really think he would be an ubuntu killer? I mean come on we added Stephon Marbury last year. It would be a vet min contract and do you really see him messing up the chemistry of a Vet heavy team? I don't see it and even if he did we could simply cut him. I just think it is worth the vet min for the rest of the year.

This team is too veteran-laden to let a guy come in here and destroy team chemistry.  So, no, Williams wouldn't be an unbuntu killer because the vets wouldn't allow it.  

When KG's back, we have 'Sheed, BBD, Sheldon, and Scal coming off the bench.  There's no room or need for him. Plus, I think you have better guys ahead of him already here.

[scoop]

He isn't better than the Williams we already have.

True ,but I think at least one of those players will be moved before the trade deadline . Scal contributes absolutely nothing on the court I really hope they package Scal and other expirings for a wing that can actually knock down a 3. I would do Scal ,House and/or Giddens for Jason Kapono type trade and then add Williams as the 5th big man

What have you seen from Williams this year besides of the allure of his potential that makes you think he can contribute to the Celtics? 

[Bankshot]

I don't think he's like Gerald Green.  I think he does have some inkling how to play.  He has some college experience and played very well.  

 

Junior (2006-07): Played in and started 15 games, averaging 32.2 minutes. Averaged 12.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.0 blocks per contest. Posted a triple-double against Duquesne with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 13 blocks. Opened the season with 12 blocks and 10 rebounds in a game at Providence. Chipped in with 10 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks in BC’s ACC-opening game win over Maryland

I would trade Walker or Giddens for him.  Get him in here and see if he can be salvaged. Maybe being around a vet team is what he needs. If not, cut him.

Nothing , but in my opinion he has the chance to at least bring something to the game. I am sick of hearing how scal is a great role player, he sucks. I can't remember the last time he has done something to really help this team. I admit I am basing this off potential with Sean Williams I just think it would strengthen our team.

The thing about Williams' blocks is that BC was actually a better defensive team with him *off* the floor than they were with him on it.  If he was truly an elite defender, that wouldn't be the case.

He was fairly limited offensively in his days at BC and was almost always out of position defensively.  He had the blocks but it was often because he was caught out of position.  Playing at the NBA level, he's come nowhere to duplicating any of his college performances plus the competition is a lot tougher than what he was facing then.

Not too mention, he got thrown off the team and killed a team that had the potential to make the Final Four.

Hobbs said they were better without him. If that's the case, I guess he didn't hurt his team's chances.

[ssspence]

We "need" a long athletic back up forward?

Isnt that why we signed Rasheed this summer? And isnt that the role BBD and Sheldon Williams play? If we traded Sheldon then I would gladly take a gamble on Williams I think hes a great defensive player. But I dont want to fill up our open roster spot with him just yet.

Having nothing to do with feelings about Sean Williams, Big Baby is not long, and Sheldon isn't athletic. These are position defenders, not weak side intimidators.

I agree with Roy here.  The Eagles were better defensively when Williams was off the court.
