I think he may still have some maturity issues, hence why his parents told him to stay in college an extra year. But I'm just guessing. Seems like a nice guy in his interviews though.

I can just see him walking into the gym and everyone looking at him while Jay says "2000 pushups, RIGHT NOW"

Did 1,000 pushups in a day once. It was not fun.

Now, I put some restrictions on myself re: set sizes and break time so I didn't just try to do one a minute for 17 hours.

But still. 2,000 probably makes him quit the team.

Agreed.

He's playing himself into a Two-Way Contract, and out of being an NBA player.

That is probably our best case scenario.

Robert Williams Jr. might need to go back to mid-late 20th century parenting 101 and take the belt off....

Watch us wind up getting to sign him for 80% of the rookie scale because of this.

2 strikes already. He should be early to everything from here on out. Not on time, EARLY. Act like you give a f***! Horrible first impression.

Kid is from a tiny town in rural, northwestern Louisiana and this is all probably a big culture shock to him. He's probably also very immature and not very independent.

I just think he's going to need a lot of hand-holding and chaperoning his first year or two in the NBA. I think that Horford, Baynes, and the coaching staff can help him out a lot with that.

Is that a joke?

Kid won't last long pulling sh&t like this. He better not come in and start messing with the culture here.

Not to mention Omari Spellman was taking only a few spots after and I really like Spellman

What if we don’t sign him? Can we trade his rights?

I know, that we don't Have to sign him.
It would be unusual, for a 1st Rounder.

But, hey. How many impressions do you need?
