Why is Sean Williams on the bench?

After watching Boone battle with Dwight Howard I think he's anything but soft.

Also I kind of want to see Sean Williams in the d-league, a 20 block game wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities

Boone's...soft...productive...but soft

Depending on matchups..i wanna see stro and sean together. As long as the opposing team doesnt have a big bulky post up center which most teams don't, i wanna see it.

So you wanna see two guys that have similar skill sets and similar weaknesses playing together? I just don't see it. At least one of them would be playing out of position. Maybe for a short spurt of time, you can throw them out there but its risky. Neither guy can score on his own nor hit an open shot consistently. Neither are great pick and roll players. They both thrive in a fast paced offense (which the Nets really aren't...yet at least but that might change w/ Harris coming over though). IMO, they're gonna compete for minutes. SWAT has struggled recently so I'm ok w/ giving Stro his minutes. The Nets are clearly gonna give preference to SWAT but if he's sucking it up, then Stro will get the minutes.

Williams is a rookie. All four guys ahead of him have learned their positions. He won't get any pt until the playoff seed is locked up, then he'll get the 30+ minutes all roiks get in the last 5-8 games. Until then, don't expect much.
