Shelden Williams Last Quotations

I think I've evolved because I'm more than just a shot blocker. I've been involved in those plays where I'm not just the last line of defense. I can also go in and get steals and play perimeter defense.

We knew last year things were going to be kind of hard for us to win a national championship because of our depth problems. But this year we have higher expectations and hopefully, we can gel right away and get on a roll.

I'm my biggest critic. I knew I hadn't played well in the last game. I wanted to make a point and redeem myself. That's one thing I did. I set the tone early and my teammates responded to that and we all played well together.

I'm more comfortable in the post now, ... Plenty of times last season I'd try to do moves without even thinking about what the defense was giving me. Now I'm slowing down, making moves off of the double team instead of just trying to bulldog my way through the defense.

If I see my teammates getting beat, they can trust that I'm there for a last line of defense. Being there to help them out is a great feeling.
