Dang right. Blakley article just spouting the same noise cuz there’s nothing to write about other than one jump shot and a put back.

I want to call him Robert “The Crow” Williams because that’s exactly what the detractors will be eating once Williams proves to be one of the better picks in this draft.

Between the Sacro is preparing an offer BS that Blakely probably got from admittedly talking to Smart, he's trashed the young pup for insufficent good reason. I'd say he's really exposed himself this week.

I like that. I too think he's salvageable at a very high level. The scouting report was that he is liked by everyone in part because he is nice and attentive to everyone and doesn't take anything for granted. That'll go a long, long way as he learns the rigor of success with this team.

Why does this guy have any Cred here? He has been a disaster early on. Hopefully it is a wake up call to him.

One thing, if he acts like this when the vets are around they are going to destroy him.

Ya’ll think 32-year is Al Horford got time for this BS? Baynes? Kyrie or Mook?

Kids in for a rude awakening. This kid has ben coddled since the moment someone discovered his hoops potential.

He was pampered in AAU, pampered being recruited, pampered in college and was never given the right direction because he was always wanted by someone.

Now, for the first time in his hoops career, he has to deliver on his potential.

He is a grown man. Results are what matter. I like what I see on film. Love it.

But this Celtics team doesn’t have anytime for children on the roster. Grow the F up.

No it wasn't. It was bull clickbait from a guy who was bored because it's summer. Seriously, this is based on one freaking week. Come back around Christmas if you want to whine about him, until then, shut the hell up.

I can whine whenever I want. And, i don’t want him to play hurt. He adds a dimension we need.

How about showing up on time? A Sherrod’s story was fair.

When your red flag is maturity issues, then you miss a phone call, miss a flight, and then get assigned a life help guy...give me a break.

If KG was on the team he would punch him in the face.

I take issue with people defending his actions and attacking media. Right now, no trust.

We know he has superb athleticism and a feel for the game. I think spending the summer truly healing his tendinitis (and getting that procedure done if necessary) while working on his ball handling skills and improving his shot just might be the best for him right now.

Eh, he's **** up shockingly twice on the simplest of tasks.

He's **** up, he deserves blame. His stock dropped because of medical concerns and "maturity" concerns. Both of which have sprung up in what a month into his professional career.

If you can't criticize him now when can you?

Hopefully things work out, we know he was a risk taking him, and it looks like he may need a redshirt year (for the most part) to learn the game anyways. Lets hope he develops his basketball awareness and learns to be a fulfill his obligations (doesn't have to be a saint, just meet the min amount for the job).

I don't understand why people get so extremely defensive over criticizing our players on anything at all. You can be a fan of the FRANCHISE and criticize the players currently wearing the jersey. It's about the name on the front not the back.

And at this point in his career, RJ Hunter was an All Star. Let's give RWIII more than 2 weeks before coming to any conclusions about where he's going in life.

The kid -- and he's a kid, quite obviously -- goofed, twice. He needs to grow up fast, but that's what the Celtics coaching staff and the team's veterans are there to help him with -- not through coddling but by challenging him to be a man and good teammate.

I love his skill and potential. He seems like a nice person.

But, be a professional. That’s it.

I don’t want a Joe Forte wearing a lakers retro jersey into the locker room situation.

Exactly. Every kid makes mistakes. If you got talent and don't screw up too badly, you'll keep getting chances though. Hopefully he'll get there eventually because we really can use his skills.

Listen. I hope whatever backlash he got works. I am bullish on the talent.

One thing ya’ll got to consider, vets have no obligation to teach. Horford will, because he is that good a guy. But i am sure theis, Baynes and definitely not mook will “teach” the kid.

Kyrie won’t either.

Nba is not for teaching how to live. And, he isn’t a kid. He is 20 years old. There are 20 years old in the workforce. He has 2 years of college.

Youth isn’t an excuse.
