The highlight dunks and blocks make Robert Williams a great NBA Top Shot investment. His playmaking might earn him more playing time. Against the Grizzlies, Williams was an efficient 7-for-9 on the floor with 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks, but it was Dimelord’s passing and four assists that showed out in Memphis.
Since Al Horford’s departure two seasons ago, the Celtics haven’t had a consistent big man playmaker at the top of the key. On the telecast, NBC Boston’s Brian Scalabrine likened him to Bill Walton. That’s a stretch, but Williams was certainly slinging it.
