Magic number: can Robert Williams make big strides with little playing time?

Ahh yes, Robert Williams. Good ole’ Boo Butt. The Texas A&M product has had an interesting start to his Boston Celtics career, but it’s not all bad. Amongst the lost wallets, delayed conference calls, and missed flights sits a 6’10 20-year-old who presents one of the highest ceilings of any big man in the 2018 NBA Draft class. Yes, he’s extremely athletic. Yes, he possesses lottery talent. Yes, he’s a great shot blocker. BUT (you knew it was coming), he’s 20. Williams is very early in his development, so he has plenty to work on.
