Boston’s Dave Cowens is a big fan of Robert Williams III’s growth as a player

The Hall of Fame Celtics center might know a thing or two about Boston big men.

If there’s anyone who knows Boston Celtics big men, it’s Hall of Fame Celtics center Dave Cowens, who won two titles with the team in the 1970s as a player. And current Boston big man on the come-up Robert Williams III has caught the eye of the champion, who recently sat down with Heavy’s NBA insider Steve Bulpett to talk about the Timelord, and how Cowens has grown to become a big fan of his game.

The former league MVP had reached out to Bulpett to check in on the state of affairs with his former team and league, and after some conversation, the topic of discussion turned to the Texas A&M product and his recent leap.

“I’ve enjoyed seeing the improvement of the big guy, Rob Williams,” said Cowens.
