The drumbeat to give more minutes to Boston Celtics reserve big man Robert Williams III won’t get any quieter any time soon after his brilliant performance against the Indiana Pacers Friday night, helping secure the 118 – 112 win in spectacular fashion.
The Celtics snapped a three-game losing streak in no small part to Williams’ 14 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and a steal in just 22 minutes of play that was somehow also his season-high for floor time as well as points. His absurd offensive efficiency did not abate either with the Texas A&M product hitting 6-of-8 from the field and 2-of-3 from the line.
Timelord has found his fans calling for a bigger role for the vertically-gifted center, and his performance against the Pacers helped cement the fact that he’s deserving of one.
Watch the video embedded above put together by Tomasz Kordylewski for yourself — it was an outstanding flash of Williams’ future as a player.
