Roberts are rare on Celtics rosters - but great when we've had them

To date, the Boston Celtics have only had one player named Robert acquired in the draft take the floor for the team, and they plan on doubling that figure come summer.

Of course, most of you know the first was Hall of Fame big man Robert Parish, and the second recently-drafted Robert Williams. That's not the only thing they have in common, though.

The most obvious shared quality is the position they play (center), though the game has changed quite a bit, and in his time at Texas A&M, Williams was played at the four a lot, which will probably be a rare sight in the NBA.
