Celtics draft pick Robert Williams is already putting in work ahead of his rookie season.
Coach Brad Stevens told reporters the 20-year-old has been in the gym every day since arriving in Boston, including a 6:30 a.m. workout before his introductory press conference Friday morning.
“Boston is a place that loves hard work,” Williams said. “They love players and athletes who give it their all, give the city and the team their all.”
Stevens and president of basketball operations Danny Ainge — who welcomed Williams and his family to the Auerbach Center Friday — both expressed excitement about the addition of Williams.
