Robert Williams, who was selected by the Celtics with the 27th overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, took part in a brief conference call with reporters Friday afternoon. There were considerable technical difficulties with the call, but here are a few of the decipherable highlights from the former Texas A&M forward’s opening chat.
u25a0 Williams averaged 2.6 blocks per game last season and was a two-time Southeastern Conference Player of the Year. He said he is eager to join a Celtics team that had the NBA’s top-ranked defense last season.
“I feel like I love defense,’’ he said.
