Quote from: Woj
Williams is a lottery-level talent, a player with immense talent. If he can show a commitment to playing hard, this could be a steal of the first-round. ESPN's @Mike_Schmitz compares him to another 27th overall pick: Clint Capela.

Of course Capela was picked 25th.

Just don’t have him in if free throws are important.  ;D

LOVE IT! Didn’t think DA would go for a non stretch, non passing big.

EDIT: this attones for passing on Deandre Jordan.

This is what you do with the 27th pick:  high upside.

I'm thrilled. Couldn't ask for more

Already seeing Williams being compared to the likes of Capela and DeAndre Jordan. NICE!

Great pick Ainge!

What a steal! And we wanted to trade up to get him. Can’t believe Lakers took Wagner.

We should be able to coach him into a significantly better shooter than 2-30 from three and 46% from the line. He looks like a beast defensively.

I think Danny is evolving.

I've seen him pass on these type of players so many times I can't believe it.

Great swing for the fences.
