Robert Williams III’s play with the Boston Celtics is slowly improving
Given how important the Texas A&M alum is to the postseason potential of the Boston Celtics, the amount of ink spilled over the health and abilities of starting Celtics center Robert Williams III is understandable. But those of us who have put the Timelord under the microscope out of concern for what he might not be able to do come spring may have missed what he is able to do now on the court — and how it has been slowly improving over the course of the 2022-23 NBA season.
The Louisiana native started this campaign in rehab for a clean-up operation on his surgically-repaired knee. since returning to the team, Williams has looked tentative and less explosive early on, but less so with each game that he plays.
Boo Butt still has a way to go before he is in the form that terrorized the league at the end of the 2021-22 season, but he’s made strides while reintegrating himself back into Boston’s rotations.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the hosts of the semi-eponymous “Cedric Maxwell” podcast had to say about how Timelord has been coming along, courtesy of our friends at CLNS Media.
