Nobody expected Robert Williams to fall to the Boston Celtics. He averaged 10.4 points to go along with 9.2 rebounds and a staggering 2.6 blocks per game during his second season at Texas A&M and was widely regarded as a lottery-level talent. CBS Sports predicted in their final mock draft that Williams would be drafted 12th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Robert was one of the top prospects leading up to the draft because teams were enamored with his athleticism and defensive potential. Williams excelled as a finisher around the rim, shooting 63.
