I think we need a "Days since Robert Williams missed a team event" counter.

Hopefully we get to a full week before it goes back to 0

well, let's not set our bar too high.

I'll be more impressed when he makes two FREE THROWS in a row.

Williams high school assistant coach and a  high level trainer supplied by his agency are moving in with him.Now that's structure.Someone from home not family and a personal trainer that will get him eating and sleeping right.This was from CLNS Jeff Goodman
Now that is PROACTIVE and will allow him to grow roots and bond with players.It takes time
-After  first couple of days of scrutiny and pressure and not knowing anything about city with no friends yet. He tried to jam a trip back home.Maybe see his friends ,tell some stories ,maybe visit a girlfriend.
Must have felt like a good plan-no harm no foul just an expense and a plane ride.

I think it's pretty alarming that Williams needs a full time babysitter. Because you can call it what you want, but that's pretty much what he's getting.

I can live with him having a babysitter until he matures.

Good. Reminds me of when the kings drafted cousins then hired his high school coach

[Fred Roberts]

When and where we drafted him reminded me of Sean Williams, another 6'10" high flier with personality question marks. I get the sense that Rob is in a better place, based on nothing more than gut.

Of course it’s concerning, but sounds like providing structure and human contact with positive role models is the best they can do right now and I’m glad they are doing it.   While early signs may not be trending the right way, Williams is young and could be highly influenced by positive team culture.  Celtics have a bunch of potentially great role models, young and older.... hope he connects.

I think your a stalker and a baiter.
Jason is a sophisticated kid has his mother in the same building.And out of nowhere he is a father.
I would have this set up for any young player and was forewarned of maturity issues.
The kid maybe big but is new to Northeast and from a one traffic light town.
If you are going to draft kids without interviews with maturity issues or really young -you are going to get kids.
I think a sports psychologist should have an office in the training facility-the pressure on these big kids is immense Fultz forgot to shoot-Philly has had the most experience with big kids and red shirted most of them.Simmons is now a Kardashion.

Tatum lives with his mom. It's not that unusual...

She lives on another floor. A lot of people still live at home in their 20s unless they move on for schooling/family. A lot of different cultures keep families together forever, parent cares for you then you and your husband or son and wife take in the parents when it's time. A lot of these young NBA players could use more structure and counseling so maybe most of them wouldn't end up broke and struggling (substance abusers), after their NBA career.

I don't think that Tatum was forced to live with him mother to keep him in order.

So do you think that an immature 20 year old from Texas should move to Boston and live by himself and not get any help?
