I like that pick by Brooklyn. RHJ and Musa is nice!

Hope they can turn it around just a little bit

This is what you do with the 27th pick:  high upside.

If high upside guys fall (which is what happened here). Usually by late 20s it is seasoned college guys who will help fill out a bench (Delonte West’s).

In all likelihood this guy will never be a starter. But Boston is a good landing spot for him. If Stevens can’t light that fire no one can.

While that certainly makes for my primary concern with this dude, I'm also worried about the fact that Williams is a traditional big guy, as we all know as to how well those kinds of players have performed under Stevens, to date. Ugh.

Aron Baynes performed just right though!

Williams is the most athletic big Stevens has had.
