Sean May is the next Carlos Boozer. "He isn't big enough to play center" - well move him to powerfoward.
I agree with the Sean May comparison. He'll be a much better scorer. As far as Williams. Theres two things you have to understand. One. You dont just come in your freshman year and start for North Carolina. Two. The NBA draft, the past 10 years or so, has been built around potential. Most of the superstars today were drafted on sheer potential. Nowitski, Ginobli, all the high school players. Williams wont be any different. Some fail to reach that potential ( Kwame Brown , Jonathan Bender ) , but you cant deny that its there. Williams may have the most potential then anyone in recent years. Thats not counting Lebron, because that guy was just a freak phenomenon.
