The most well-known name in the group is Sean Williams, the former first-round pick of New Jersey whose talent was offset by troubles that date back to when he was Jared Dudley's teammate at Boston College.

Sean Williams is seeking a second chance. Banished from Boston College for repeated violations of team rules, the Nets made him a first-round pick in 2007, and it appeared to be the right move after he played in 79 games as a rookie. But a poor attitude and lack of production limited Williams to 53 games over the next two seasons, and the Nets released him last January. That created an opportunity to play in China, a move he said helped him mature. In the Las Vegas Summer League, he averaged 7.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 15 minutes in five games for the Bucks. Williams turns 24 in September and with the way money is being handed to forwards and centers with limited skills, he wants back in the league. “Just out here trying to show some of these NBA teams what I can do,’’ he said. “To show what type of person I am.’’ Boston Globe
