Ouch. The kid's got a ways to go.
By next summer, he should be a whole different man.

I have a cousin who has lost his wallet at least 50 times in last 30 years, used to leave at least 3 club behind every single round of golf.

but he has a masters in Bio-mechanical engineering and is a pharmacist.

Seems to have some Big Baby Davis in him. We've had plenty of knuckleheads off the court wind up succeeding on it. BBD and Delonte West, among others. Hell, Smarf is **** up his hand frivolously this year and nobody did much more than roll their eyes around here.

Great! ......."The Incoherent Pharmacist"

Wonder if our "fearless leader" is that way when he says something one day and then says different the next?

That's no lie ....right?

Sometimes one can be so nervous about something not happening that the nerves actually cause one to make that worst fear happen. Seems as if something like that might be in play here. His dad seemed to puff up over the idea of having to direct his hapless son's life for him, so he may well have had family dynamics that set him up for this. If an NBA team can help him out, the C's are probably as good a situation as he could have landed in.

BBD and West both with some violence and criminality in them. No reports of that from Mr. Williams.

Very good point. And Smart significantly older with years of NBA experience.

Perhaps the Celtics need to hire a behavioral specialist coach?

I wonder if there already is such a position on some other clubs? :D

Was it brown? Did it have some important phone numbers and some condoms in it? You gotta get it man.

Williams has gotten burned here. He shouldn’t talk to media, should just workout and play basketball and try and get everyone forget who he is until October.

Really. He has become a joke in the summer league. Feel bad for him now.

I feel like I keep defending this kid, but I just got off the phone with the Mexican restaurant I ate at last night to see if they had my credit card. (They do.)

Lots of team shrinks--whether they are called coaches or sports psychologists. Williams could possibly use some help there.

How is his losing his wallet something I know about? Seriously there are times when it goes too far.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."
