Robert Williams (Merged Threads)

[bellerephon]

Williams seems to be our next James Young, a lot of potential never used.

Hopefully I am wrong...

I'm having a hard time understanding this point of view. Williams hasn't been around long enough for us to make this sort of judgment. He's being kept out of action because they don't want to take any chances with his knee. Standard practice for summer league.

With Williams (knee contusion) out again tonight, Ainge not sure if the rookie will be shut down for rest of summer league. "Don't know. Just taking it day by day right now."

Sleepy Williams might have more time to catch some Z's.

man has a fan base ever turned on a guy quicker?

Well, considering the thread title and the way it puts the cart before the horse, I think it's appropriate to get some resistance. Plus, let's be honest, Boston loves it's blue-collar/hardworking types, so having a reputation for having a bad work ethic, with a low motor, and being immature doesn't help matters.

Hyperbole look it up-
The fact is he has the tools and the Celtics have the organization and Horford  and the young guys
He was vulnerable on arrival that was when he needed support ,

Can guard one through  five and can play 2.5 feet above the rim. and 2 ft from standing
SEC defensive player of the year, he loves to play defense
He has the physical tools the gifts necessary  to make this possible.Time will tell. OOPS .
You just like to bash potential and criticize
Your baiting again.
i'm living in your head rent free.

There is finally a diagnosis for Williams's knee problems and this provides a little more clarity because I did not notice any major injury to the knee in that one game  in summer league. Hopefully the Celtics doctors can treat his knees now that they have a diagnosis.

It's not that serious. Eventually it may require a procedure but nothing close yet..

When I was 19 I had horrible jumper's knee from playing too much basketball. I started training my legs with heavy squats and lunges and haven't had the pain since. I am not concerned.

Sounds a bit like patella/femoral syndrome.   Had that once.  Very painful.  Strengthening the quads made it disappear.

Doesn't seem too serious.
