Boston Celtics second-year reserve center Robert Williams III was just starting to spread his wings when a very serious hip bruise waylaid the Texas A & M product for a good chunk of the season, only to have the entire league shut down soon after his return to health.
That’s got to be frustrating.
But soon, with the 2019-20 NBA season poised to resume for the Celtics on Friday as they have their first exhibition scrimmage against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Louisiana native will be able to take stock of where his nascent passing and supposedly overall faster game is really at.
Williams was optimistic of his growth as a player in his last media availability session with the team at the Disney NBA campus, and was looking every bit the part of a valuable rotation player before the hiatus.
Watch the video embedded above to see how he was doing before the break in this team-produced highlight reel of the Time Lord.
