Nets reassign Sean Williams
SNY.TV is reporting The New Jersey Nets assigned former first-round draft pick Sean Williams to the Colorado 14ers of the NBA Development League on Monday.
Williams was drafted No. 17 overall in 2007, averaged 1.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 11 minutes per game this season. As a rookie last season, Williams appeared in 73 games, starting 16, and averaged 5.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 17.5 minutes per game.
I have seen him play, and he is a lot better than the stats lead on, but I suppose with the addition of Yi this season, Williams had a reduced role. Yi hasn’t been a stand out either this season, so the move is somewhat questionable. I hope to see him back soon with a bigger role.
