Sean Williams played in his fifth NBA game on Wednesday night. It may have been his best yet - not bad for someone who already was ahead of schedule, at least the one the Nets calibrated for him, which may say a lot about the team and the player.

The former Boston College center played a season-high 29 minutes. He had a season-high 14 points, a season-high four blocked shots (including one on Rajon Rondo that had "SportsCenter" written all over it). He collected seven rebounds, one shy of his season high. He also had a steal.

"Just trying to play hard and do my job," Williams said following New Jersey's 91-69 loss to the Celtics. "Coach [Lawrence Frank] told me I'd be in the rotation for now, and I am going to try and take advantage of the opportunity."

"He plays with amazing energy," saluted Celtics' Coach Doc Rivers. "His athleticism is scary."
