We were just beginning to see Time Lord — as center Robert Williams III has been so dubbed — get back into the groove he had going on before injury knocked him out of action for several months of the 2019-20 NBA season.
Then, the coronavirus shut things down.
The Texas A&M product had begun to show off a nascent passing game and some away-from-the-basket offensive to go with his incredible hops and highlight-reel blocks.
Perhaps even more intriguing was his growth on defense and as a decision-maker, committing fewer of the defensive mistakes that would see him get benched in his rookie season.
While he’s still got plenty of rough edges in need of regular minutes to smooth out the kinks in his game, the steps forward made by the former Aggie ought to get Boston fans excited for his potential as a starter in the future.
And until that future arrives for those of us without the ability to warp time and space, watch the video above to see the best of Time Lord so far this season.
