Amari Williams

[Phantom255x]

Even though the box score won't show much I thought he did fairly well in the 15 minutes he played given the circumstances and also against a pretty stout Detroit frontcourt. Had a few nice blocks and also had the game winning rebound tip after the FT miss.

They need to give him some more minutes or at least give him a little exposure even after Queta returns. He certainly to me looked better than Garza. Garza I acknowledge puts in the effort but man he's just rough out there and at times clueless.

We might having something with Amari though, even if it's like a 4th big or fringe 3rd big on a contender.

For some reason he reminds me of ex Celtic Amir Johnson. Tall and lanky, not much of an offensive game, but with really nice defensive instincts.

What I find crazy is that Amari is about to turn 24 in January.

For a reasonably old rookie, he is extremely raw. Obviously the Celtics have a drafting formula and he must fit into the equation, but I am perplexed as to how much growth can be achieved at his age.

Come on over to the Amari Williams Island. I have to admit, after summer league it was pretty uninhabited over here, but there's plenty of time still to purchase some beachfront property!

If he can figure it, he has the athleticism and passing to be a starting center in the NBA.

Big "if" there, but the Celtics have had some luck in recent years developing fringe NBA bigs into solid rotation players (Kornet and Neemis).

Feels like Joe has seen enough with Garza. So he might be getting some burn with Queta out.
