Sean Williams News

The Celtics are the latest team to take a chance on Sean Williams, hoping that his immense physical skills and basketball intelligence will make for a productive stint and that he can avoid his previous off-the-court pitfalls.

Williams, the 17th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, averaged 4.3 points and 3.6 rebounds in three seasons with the New Jersey Nets before being waived in January 2010.

The Boston Celtics announced today that they have signed center/forward Sean Williams.

The Boston Celtics , seeking some added depth for their frontcourt, are closing in on the signing of free-agent center Sean Williams , according to sources with knowledge of the deal.

The limitations of post-deadline roster moves require teams to telegraph their intent, to some extent; there could be no surer sign of a signing to come than when the Dallas Mavericks - a team with a full roster - requested waivers on Sean Williams on Thursday.
