Another great value pick by Ainge deep in a draft. Can’t wait to see the guard we get in the 2nd. Finally an athletic 5 who can defend & block shots

Williams will be a nice counter to guys like Tristan Thompson.

This was a good pick,  7'5" wingspan, can guard the perimeter, 6'10" with a 40 inch vertical !

He lacks skills but lordy does he have potential.



Stevens said he's very high on him.

I still wanted Spellman, but I'm gonna trust Steven's judgement.

I don't like the fact he had immaturity issues and terrible shooting mechanics, but we gotta give him a chance.

I’m surprised because he’s a non passing non stretch big, but I love the pick.

Love getting a late lottery player at 27. He jumps above the rim, is a blocking machine and can throw down beautiful earth shattering dunks. Stevens and our Celtics are the perfect situation for him to hit his talent potential- Exciting!!

Oh, we still have a high lottery pick next year and team still intact.

Could be our Ben Wallace.


Ben wallace was a scrappy overachiever. This is a kid with a ton of talent who coasts. We are hoping Stevens Smart lights a fire under him.

That could free up Horford to play the four.

Brad Stevens said Robert Williams has enough of a foundation to become a better passer, ball-handler & outside shooter.

Interesting.

I went and watched his strenght video ,  he does look 100x more active and athletic than Fab or JJJ .

But that loser we traded to the Heat was supposed to be the next coming of Dennis Rodman too.  He was awful....awful LOW IQ and totally lost on court at NBa speed.


He appears to have nice reach and timing and decent speed .   Wonder if he has basketball IQ and will work at his game .    Don't want another Oakfor brain dead type.

He was projected 12-20 in most mocks, he's an athletic big man, and he has lottery upside.

Hard to find fault with the risk/reward tradeoff on this one.

This is going to be a test of whether the Celtics can coach up a poor free throw shooter's mechanics from abysmal to adequate.  When was the last free throw shooter here who's been as bad as Williams?

Hope this does not turn out to be another Mark Blount.
