We have a pretty fun team to watch, but Rob is the show stealer.

One of the most entertaining players I’ve ever seen, tbh.

it's a combination of the 7'6" wingspan, the 40" vertical leap, good athleticism, good instincts and timing as well as effort/hustle/determination.

A beautiful combination indeed :)

Plus he's gotten better at not biting on up-fakes.

Not good! Ugh!

But as training camp is set to get underway next week, Williams has gotten some bad news—according to a source, he will have arthroscopic surgery on the knee, which will keep him out for all of camp and likely into the early weeks of the season.

Damn, really? Such a shame his body is the same at it is. He has all time great defensive potential but the knees and legs squash a lot of that

Great talent but injury prone. It sucks for him and the team.

Nuts! But, at this point they should just let him stay out as long as he needs until he feels 1000% better. Don't rush him back. Let this nagging injury get the time it needs to get completely better.

Like I say williams is only good for about 50 games a year. Of course him being injured before the season even starts is rough because chances are he will get injured again at some point during the season

I don't think I'm alone in wondering why this surgery wasn't done in late June or early July, and wondering if anything else was made worse by coming back so fast.
It may end up he will never really be healthy, and should the team look at their big man roster differently.
