Justin Quinn's article on the Timelord brings to mind the Celtics 1987-88 season. Rookie Reggie Lewis, taken with the 22nd pick in the draft, was only getting 8.3 minutes per game from coach K. C. Jones. Rob Williams is getting half of that time from Brad Stevens. Reggie was very good, and consistent, on the floor for very-limited minutes. So is Rob.
Lewis would come in off the bench - play his heart out - outfight opponents for rebounds - hustle - drive the baseline for spectacular jams.
