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.

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.

This wasn’t snark. It was fair. Everyone stop being a goober.
This guy is off to a bad start, mostly of his own doing. We aren’t into life development of people, making them better people. We arent teachers.
This pro hoops. Help us win, Or ass is cut.

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.

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.

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.
