On this day, the Boston Celtics selected one player of note in the 2018 NBA Draft, held in New York City, New York.
That player would be Texas A & M big man Robert Williams III, a rim-running, shot-blocking prospect who slid to the Celtics range and ended up being drafted by the team at No. 27 overall.
“Time Lord” — as Williams came to be called — is in his second season with Boston, and while plagued with injury, he’s still managed to show some significant growth in his passing and offensive game.
To date he’s had a career average of 3.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game with the Celtics.
