Mickey seemingly had the physical tools, just nothing else apparently.

Mickey had to gather himself to jump.   Williams is a human pogo stick and get up there without gathering himself by bending his knees.   This will make a guy quicker off his feet.

Agree. Also I think Williams is stronger through his core and upper body. Mickey always looked a little gangly out there to me.
Yeah, Williams looks strong, and has some crazy athleticism. That alley-oop against Detroit was awesome

Don't know about the strong part, stronger than Mickey yes but he is lacking strength even in college

The play that impressed me the most was in preseason. Williams got beaten off the dribble by a guard, recovered, caught up with the guy, and blocked his shot from behind.

I thought, "Hello!"

No comparison. Mikey was much smaller and less athletic.

Williams is long and quick and a good passer.

I don't think he was comparing the players, I think he was comparing the mentality that some fans have that the players we haven't seen yet must be better than the ones we have seen for no reason. Mickey is a good example of someone that some posters cried about not getting enough minutes right up until he was completely out of the league.

Ding ding ding. But it was good to have a Jordan Mickey conversation again. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to get people talking about James Young.

Don't forget about Jérôme Moïso!

Robert Williams has already shown more in a tiny amount of minutes than all of these forgotten dudes combined.

I had the same gift so I know what a HUGE advantage it was for me from rebounding, to put backs to challenging shots. It's a gift and not something one can develop.

I could never forget about Jerome Moiso.  I was more excited about him at the time than I am now about Williams.   I always used to fall for those guys with great tools.  Obviously that sounds stupid to say now.  Hopefully Williams becomes the player that Moiso never became :D

Anyone else a little upset that Robert didn’t see more action last night? When Horford and Baynes each had 4 fouls with 4 or 3 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter I thought for sure we’d see Robert in the game. Instead he sends in Yabusele for the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the 4th. Nothing against Yabusele, he’s fine, it’s just that I’ve seen enough of him over the years and have kind of given up on him. I’d rather give those minutes to a promising rookie who could use some experience in games where it’s not garbage time. Again, not a huge deal just wish the minutes were going to Robert so he can develop instead of a 22-year old who hasn’t cracked the rotation in 3 years.

I am always way too excited about every Celtics draft pick. I think the only one I wasn't excited about was Joe Forte.

And yet last year a bunch of people on this site were clamoring for Yabu to get minutes before Ojeleye and Theis.

You just have " I-have-barely-seen-this-new-rookie-so-we-obviously-need-to-play-him-because-he-is-definitely-better-than-the-players-playing-in-front-of-him-because-Yea- rookies! syndrome.

Don't worry. You will be over it sometime during the 2019-20 season when you will be demanding one of the two possible Celtic high draft picks to be playing.
