		Shelden isn't the first choice because the Rockets are already two deep in PFs and the other two we can't move.
		Williams would certainly fill in a great piece of the puzzle and complement Yao nicely--good for at least 10 and 10 and a couple of blocks.
		Williams may not be bound for greatness but I think he'll be solid and a better fit at PF than Swift at the moment (also making a better 1-2 punch with Howard).

		Williams, while extremely muscular and seemingly a little mechanical at times because of it, is more than just a player many scouts label as a hard worker, good citizen-type player.
		However, Williams will still be able to play center at times because of an extremely long wingspan and great footwork.
		Williams uses an effective jump-hook as one of his main offensive weapons and has improved his mid-range game.

		Williams wasn't quite the disaster offensively when he entered college, so you wouldn't see quite the dramatic amount of improvement in the post that one saw with Okafor.
		Shelden isn't the hyped prospect in this day and age because he spent 4 years in college and never did quite get to 20/10.
		Williams and honestly none of these guys (maybe...and very maybe Roy helps the SF position) does that this year.
