Danny at the press conference:

"Our roster...we don't, we don't need more young players, really. We feel good about adding 1."

So I am guessing no adding other young guys this year. Just vets?

That's how I see it. Probably trying to run it back with Baynes and Smart (if reasonable)

IF CBS can define Williams role (because he had to shoulder responsibilities beyond capabilities in college)  plus tweak his jump shot....... I think this is how you start with Williams

defensively CBS has a system he wants all of his players to follow (spreading arms, stance etc) + Roberts raw ability hopefully adds another dimension to this teams defense

Celts still need to bring back Baynes... and rebuild Williams down at Maine
What are you talking about?  Williams didn't shoulder responsibilities beyond his capabilities in college.  Williams was criminally underutilized and poorly utilized.  Forced to play the 4 due to Tyler Davis and playing with poor shooting and poor passing guards/wings.

TP, tazz

We both liked/took notice of him his freshman year when we were doing that Nba prospects on TV THREAD.

Good times...then and now.....thrilled about how lucky we were to grab him.

If he pans out the Celtics have the player they've always needed. Couldn't be happier about the pick

Honestly if they resign Smart and keep Bird, Williams could very well be the only new face on the roster (with Baynes departing).  I think they keep the 15th spot open until buyout season.  This will both offer them flexibility and help keep them below the tax after Smart’s new deal is signed.

This was a good pick,  7'5" wingspan, can guard the perimeter, 6'10" with a 40 inch vertical !

https://www.facebook.com/bleacherreport/videos/10154878620491006/

He lacks skills but lordy does he have potential.


Stevens said he's very high on him.

I still wanted Spellman, but I'm gonna trust Steven's judgement.

I don't like the fact he had immaturity issues and terrible shooting mechanics, but we gotta give him a chance.

Man, they say that same crap every year, lol ::) ;D. Didn't Stevens also say that R.J. Hunter was going to have a great career ::)? I just, I can't, lol ;D.

Don't get me wrong, I'll certainly be watching the guy in the Summer League, etc., but it's just never a good idea to take any guy with a sub-par motor and/or work ethic, imo, as those are characteristics that you simply cannot teach, in my view. You've either got it or you don't, to me, but we'll see as to what happens.

Had Williams been drafted by the Warriors, for example, I could have seen that possibly panning out owing to Draymond and company constantly being in his ear and all that comes with being immersed in a championship environment, but I really don't know about this one, man, and what's the deal with Khyri Thomas?

All this complaining about Williams when your binky didn't even get drafted? ROFL

Honest question: When was the last time we as a fanbase were collectively happy with who the Celtics selected in the draft?

Was it when we picked Smart or Young?

It feels good to see that everyone for the most part at the very least approve of this year's pick.

Robert is gonna throw some nasty, nasty dunks in Maine next year.
