Multiple sauces reporting that Williams shortchanged the lower back set of molars while brushing his teeth last night.
What a wasted pick! Fire Danny!

Sounds about right to me--as long as he's earning it with his professional commitment.

Maine is run by the Celtics. It's coaches who will be with the team for the entirety of camp and preseason. They run essentially the same system.
He's not going to play any meaningful minutes this year. He starts the year behind Horford, Baynes, Theis and Yabusele in the big man pecking order. Plus whatever minutes Tatum and Morris play as bigs. The Celtics have no plans for Williams to play in the NBA this season. If he does, it means he's either way better than anyone thinks. Or the whole season went to ****.
And for those saying "throw him 10 minutes a game", then you can't get pissed when Stevens is playing 12 guys a night. Because that is the only way that sort of thing works.

How do you know? Did Brad Stevens tell you his plan?

I mean I spent a ton of time around the team and talked to everyone I could and Williams was a big topic of conversation. There is also the fact that he's never played in the NBA, the team is a contender, and he's at best the 4th big in the rotation.
But yeah. You need the coach to tell you exactly what the plan is.
Sometimes some of you make it pleasant to walk away from here and not post as much.

Although RWIII did not play much during SL, when he did play he seemed to play well and affect the game positively for the Celtics. The sixers seemed to stop driving to the basket during the short period he played. That is much different than James Young who came in at 17 yrs old and needed a ton of development befire playing. Also Brad Stevens interveiw would indicate that he thinks RWIII can help this season, because he can provide elite defense and rebounding. Now the Celtics are much deeper than when JY played for them, so PT will be harder to get, but IMO Brad Stevens will find a way to use RWIII unique defensive abilities. We shall see how things progress in TC.
He played six fricken minutes.....Williams is as raw as they come on the offensive end, he's not in the best physical condition, and Boston is already plenty deep at the center position(especially if Al starts at the five).
