It’s taken so long for Boston Celtics second-year center Robert Williams III to get a chance to really show us what he is capable of at the NBA level, it nearly gave new meaning to his nickname ‘Time Lord’.
With a host of minor injuries plaguing the Louisiana native — most recently a serious bone bruise on his hip — it hasn’t been until the Disney restart bubble seeding games that we have really seen how much the LSU product has grown as a player since becoming a Celtic.
Flashing far more body control, fundamentals awareness and some nifty passing and shooting, Williams has looked every bit the player Boston hoped they’d drafted and then some.
Averaging 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.2 blocks per game over just 10.9 minutes of game play while shooting an absurd 84.6 % overall and 88.9 % from the line, Time Lord is looking like a real threat off the bench.
Watch all of his best plays from the Disney restart so far — and get hyped to see him tonight as Boston takes on the 76ers in the first round of the 2020 NBA Playoffs.
