Sean Williams
New Jersey Nets
Chris Bosh
Toronto Raptors
Williams is a special talent and is better offensively than scouts initially thought. Bosh is one of the finest offensive talents in the world, combining quickness and agility with great timing and shot-making skills. If Williams can learn to beat defenders from the high post by using solid jabs and counters when they take his jump shot away, like Bosh does, he can become the two-way player the Nets have lacked at power forward since Kenyon Martin.
