Former Boston College player Sean Williams was a man of few words before Sunday's Celtics-Nets game at the TD Garden, Williams, sitting at his locker with a smirk, had some interesting responses when asked about the Nets season.

"We're pretty young," he said. "We're in transition, building up, everybody's working hard. I'm trying to achieve some of my goals, making the playoffs, winning games, things like that."

When asked if he was concerned about his contract status (the Nets have until Oct. 31 to exercise the option on his contract for 2010-11) he said:

"I don't know nothing about that stuff," he said. "I can't even read (joking). Remember, I didn't finish school."

Williams was removed from the Boston College team in January 2007 for alleged marijuana use. He played only 33 games last season because of discilpinary reasons and other issues.

He did not play Sunday but here's Nets coach Lawrence Frank's take on his training camp.

"Sean is a super-good person," Frank said. "His athleticism is obviously off the charts. The challenge for him is the consistency of doing it every single day and he's a guy who can come in and change the game with his energy and I think right now we haven't settled on a rotation so he's still in the mix. But that's kind of what he can do. He's an athletic guy who's freakish at times and be a momentum-change type guy, whether it's block shots, whether it's getting a steal, whether it's getting a big dunk but changing the momentum of the game."
