I'd test him for drugs the second he gets to the team and if it's positive I'd tell him to drive up to Maine where he will be remaining with the Red Claws till at least the All Star break. This cycle has to end immediately.

If he doesn't test positive make him carry the bags and fetch everyone water during all summer league.

In practice he wears a yellow jersey till he earns a green one

He reminds me of Javale McGee.  Incredible athlete but immature, and can't get out of his own way.

Javale played really well against Cleveland and won a championship, and we did not want him.

Danny did wanted him. Until Javale and his agent screwed him.

How so?

Quite a leap from being late to a flight to drugs. Let's not assume the worst possible thing here.

He was almost signed but backed out due to contract dispute.

Well what is the good reason for missing the flight?  I mean how much are we going to baby this guy and shrug our shoulders? Were you late for work your first day? How about your 2nd day? There need to be immediate clear consequences. Personally I think he was gonna be on the flight but then he got high. Na na na na na na. I'd like to know why.

Either we're babying him or he's on drugs. There is no middle ground.

I'm sure they will handle the situation. I'm just saying that surprising him with a drug test is insulting, aggressive, and rude. It's not leading or developing him. It's attacking him.

I agree there should be firm consequences.

Definitely warning signs but I am going to hang in with him and assume this is all immaturity.  The Celtics need to be smart with this and get him a mentor or something to help him.  It is a big leap from College to NBA.  I don't have a lot to go on but I have a feeling this is not a character flaw, just some rookie mistakes.

They may not be able to drug test him, that sort of stuff is likely spelled out in the contract. It's also silly at this point. Yes, it is a bad thing to miss the flight. Yes, the team should take note and institute a plan to teach him how to be a pro. No they should not assume he's a lost cause or go overboard with ridiculous restrictions. He's a kid. Immature, yes, but hardly unusual for a kid his age. They can't all be Tatum. Let's see what happens during summer league, training camp, and the regular season before we pass judgement.

Keep him away from our young guys.  I don’t want Williams to influence any of our young players.

Heck, if it was me, I will not let him inside the facilities,  cut our losses now.

We are the favorite to win the East, don’t want any distraction specially from someone who has not accomplished anything yet....not worth it
