When Robert Williams was drafted 27th by the Boston Celtics, the feeling of unanimous excitement was one that hadn’t been shared in quite sometime after a Celtics first-round selection. No reputable mock drafts had Williams outside of the top 20, and there weren’t many that had him outside of the lottery. At 6’10” with a 7’6” wingspan, the bouncy Texas A&M prospect was considered the type of modern big that would survive in the new era of basketball. The Celtics, who have been building their team from the perimeter, needed a young prospect in the frontcourt as they continue their journey of sustainable success.
