COMMENTARY
There was some surprise when Texas A&M big man Robert Williams slid all the way to the Boston Celtics in the 2018 NBA Draft. Most mock drafts had Williams off the board in the late lottery or middle of the first round, so he was immediately labeled the potential “steal of the draft” when the Celtics got him with the 27th overall pick.
We now know questions about his medical history and overall effort are partly what caused him to drop, but there is also a strong feeling that being part of a strong organization like Boston could be just what Williams needs.
