““He obviously has a lot of transferable skills right to the NBA,” Stevens said. “He’s able to get up off the floor quickly, play way above the rim, but also handle the ball and pass the ball, which are really things we need our forwards to be able to do.”

Williams, too, expressed excitement about joining the Celtics. The 6-foot-10 forward said he’s eager to take in the “energy” and “wisdom” from teammates, the coaching staff, and the community. He specifically mentioned veteran forward Al Horford as a player he’ll likely turn to for guidance.

“I plan on looking at the best from Day 1,” he said. “Horford has had a great career. He eats right, works out right, does everything you need to do on a day-to-day situation, so I feel like me following in his every footstep will give me the keys to success.
“What’s most interesting about his game is that Al doesn’t rush at all,” Williams said. “He takes his time. Even if some people say his moves are too slow, they’re efficient. They work. His game, from dribble handoffs to how he’s coming off screens in attacking mode, it’s all beautiful. It all helps me prepare myself.”

If the kid works his ass off every day all day for a few years, we just might have something.

agreed. he has physical talent no doubt. now if he couples that with a good work ethic and desire he will be a pretty good nba player.

so, way way way too early to say much. i will enjoy the summer league this year.  ;D
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Ainge has a frankness about him and a sense of humor that goes a long way. I mean, he picked up when Rozier FaceTimed him and said “well I know we need a point guard!”

For all the constant rumors that swirl, I think Ainge ends up having a good rapport with his guys and they appreciate what he’s doing.
