What Duke basketball’s Mark Williams said after working out with the Charlotte Hornets

While watching the 2022 NBA Finals, fixate an eyeball or two on the guy wearing No. 44 for the Boston Celtics.

That’s who Duke’s Mark Williams draws a parallel to in his mind.

“A guy like Robert Williams,” Williams said Friday. “Obviously, he’s battling injury right now. But that’s a guy who plays defense, catches lobs, runs the floor, does a little bit of everything for them.”

If Williams ends up anything akin to Boston’s big man — who’s of no relation to him — it’s safe to say the team that selects him in the NBA Draft later this month will be extremely pleased.
