true, look at Bam Adebayo.. He was athletic big who can switch on defense first 1-2 years in the league, but couldnt really shoot. Now hes an all star and is great on offense and defense.
@@kenjoeee true, i was disappointed in him, but you gotta admit. Hes a good player, look at him when he entered the league and what hes like now. He wasnt supposed to be anything than an average role player, with good D and lob threat
He reminded me of Big Ben Wallace. He is so nimble while being so strong and vertical. I hope he can stay healthy, and his next contract will be enormous.
It's awfully convenient how the only good game Bam had in the ECF was when Williams was too hurt to play. As a Celtics fan, I'm excited to see Robert continue to grow. If he can just stay healthy, he'll be a multiple time all star. It says a lot how impactful he was even when hobbled.
I'm a Heat fan, so I was pissed obviously that they lost, but 100% in my mind Bam would not have had that type of game with Williams playing. He didn't do anything all series otherwise, in large part because of Williams' presence. I didn't really pay attention or follow so I didn't really know much about Williams, but damn, that dude is a scary presence out there. It's crazy the shots he can get to and block and affect. It feels like every damn shot pretty much lol
@@joezxc well I was mainly referring to offensively, but perhaps I should have specified that. I don't think it was a coincidence at all that his best scoring output by far came without Williams playing
Happy this is finally being talked about! When the Celtics drafted this man I was unbelievably happy and excited about his potential. This man is also an underrated playmaker too. Celtics have a gem on an amazing contract next 3 years. Makes Rudy Gobert contract horrible
As a Celts fan, I said we won the draft getting him at 27th; I said he’s the perfect defense anchor to match with Smart, while the Js develop on being great wings ✅
You guys have a bright future having 3 great defensive big men in Robert Williams, Grant Williams and Al Horford mentoring the two of them. Both of them are much better defenders than overrated Rudy Gobert and Draymond Green.
i've been a celtics fan for a while, but i didn't start to actually appreciate williams until i played 2k22. dude goes fucking nuts all the time, and it forced me to be like "ok wait...is this just the game or is he actually like this..." he's now my favorite player on the celtics. fuckin love this guy
I would take Robert Williams over gobert. He's a mobile rim protector. Although he's still inexperienced, is shorter than most centers, and is lacking offense. Good pickup by the Celtics
I see. Plus the defensive environment in Celtic is way better than in Utah. So Robert Williams can shines as a rim protector surrounded by good to elite defenders, while Rudy gobert will be in trouble with a low back court defensive mindset.
Im a huge fan of this guy, talked to my friend earlier this yr and last year's playoffs struggle of the celtics saying timelord is the only positive that is happening to celtics Thank God he is getting the praise he deserved
The best teams in the East, are defensive first monsters!! Milwaukee, Boston, and Miami will be there and any other team has to go through that three headed monster!!
I love watching a defensive players I hope they will get enough credits in this era of basketball I love your videos keep doing great videos like this Thanks and Godbless
I agree completely, watching a real lock down defender like Butler, Leonard, is just beautiful. I think that's a part of the game that the very casual fan may miss all the technique and footwork and athleticism it takes to do what they do. Then you have someone like MR. Williams here who is both an interior disruptor and amazing rim protector, awesome.
Great video Andy. It's great to see a franchise could get the best of a young talent and even taking them to a next level. Giving a player that trust and the time is key. Also, you didnt mention it but having Horford as a methor i guess would help him to reach a higher level as a defender. Overall Williams could read very well the plays, let's see how far he could develope, specially as a offensive player.
Timelord is legit only thing to worry about is his durability. He was obviously playing hurt in the playoffs. The only guy who was contesting Wiggins's drives and was succeeding. Saw him wincing a couple of times and made me really nervous as a Celtics fan.
I haven't seen Williams play even once before he got injured these playoffs, but if he was that good during the finals with a bum knee I can only imagine what he's like fully healthy. Monster defensive player
In the bubble series against the raptors, he showed he had the physical tools to be a great defender but seemed unaware and out of place at times. Flash forward to this year where he was a top help defender and showed he also had the brains to play at an elite level and end up in the dpoy conversation
I would have put my money on him being the DPOY this year, if he didnt spent so much time hurt. So heres a thought. Hes actually better and more useful than DeAndre Jordan was during the year when he made All NBA first team.
Andy you should also know that Robert Williams has a popliteal artery entrappement syndrome PAES a vascular disease in his legs he overcame that condition but they said if the vascular disease gets worse he would have a surgery in the future.
As a Celtics fan, am satisfied with this season. They overachieved in my opinion. We still need a PG with playmaking abilities. Hopefully this dude we drafted from Alabama be really good.
Really surprised nobody was talking about him in the 2020-2021 season, he was really underrated that year and I'm glad he's getting the attention he deserves.
All i know is i hate playing against him in NBA 2k22 as my 6'10 center. Always have a rough game against him lol. He blocks or forces the miss on everything
Next step for Dimelord is his opportunity to start hitting those midrange shots so the court can be more spread out and guys can operate and not play with their mismatchs / food let’s go C’s they need him to start pulling those and has a very nice form which goes unnoticed that will put less stress on his knees and allow him to continue to evolve his game 👌🏽
Man he was a beast!! And he has the DPOY to learn from and a defensive firs coach to learn from!! It was very apparent that his absence was noticeable!! Dude will be a monster for years to come!!
I said it before and I'll say it again: how did teams allow Robert Williams III to fall to 27th overall? Even during the 2018 Draft, I felt that he should've been a lottery pick. He should win at least 1 Defensive Player of the Year award.
@@suiken3149 I guess, but the low motor seems like a weak excuse considering that many guys were drafted in the lottery despite scouts saying that they have a low motor.
al horford is more draymond on defense than rob cs horford defends the perimeter much better than rob do and is stronger and uses his brain cs rob can’t stay in front of guards he more of rudy gobert but he has way more help than gobert do on defense cs boston do a real good job of staying attached to their man they don’t get blown by like gobert a teammates do. not hating but i just don’t see green and rob i see rob and gobert i see al and draymond . But i always said rob was the best defender on boston and i value perimeter defense more than paint defense but rob is that good on defense he is ridiculously athletic and has a ridiculous first jump and second jump it’s hard to get shots over him and he can pass.
As a C's fan, Rob Williams definitely one of my favorite players to watch! He is tough and impactful, he will be a future DPOY for sure and I'm sure he will add a middy to his game! I'm just glad he finally getting recognized for his efforts!
His blocks are also efficient in terms of sending them back towards his teammates. Dwight suring his Orlando days used to block the heck out of his opponents but mostly out in the stands. Williams feeds his teammates Offensive Rebounds.
all time defender is a stretch, dude is 24 in his 1st good quality season players of his type dont last past 30 in the league. ima expect a kenneth faried style exit
@@bandito241 that's true thank you for mentioning again, i want to compare the body/play style to rodman as well but its a lil more difficult to gauge since he had a late start getting in the league
@@professionalmeatbeater6983 Rudy can’t cover the Perimeter. Williams can. That makes a big difference in the playoffs. Also, playoffs should obviously play a factor in the awards.
He's the next Ben Wallace but for those that don't know he has a mid range jump shot! And can make his free throws. Last year he did shoot i'm not sure why Ime doesn't let him shoot. Also he's a very very good passer Andy. Bballbreakdown has a good video on Robert Williams
Personally I think Robert Williams III is the best undersized center in the entire league when it comes to raw defensive talents. Yes, better than Bam. Williams can keep up with bigger and more dominant centers. Bam is great but he can only really consistently contain guys who are closer to his size. Williams can keep up with guys like Embiid when they start coming down the lane. I know Bam-stans will attack me for sayin it but it's true and I love Bam. Bam is also a better offensive player than Williams III for what it's worth, but I'm just talkin raw defense here.
Robert Williams III could be an offensive beast as well, he is just a big strong powerful dunking beast. He and Smart make a great dynamic duo and they could make a lob city like duo but they have a great overall team so they can’t otherwise the rest of team won’t do anything
Robert is a more threatening rim protector then Gobert in my opinion. Just as a warriors fan the way I feel when Robert is on the floor is simply more threatening than when Gobert is on the floor
There's another all-time great for the Celtics who was their defensive anchor for 13 seasons and that guy's name was Bill Russell, that's who he reminds me based on what I've seen on UA-cam about Mr. Russell!
A suppliment though, at least from free throw line, RW3 has incredibly soft touch. To my perception from following their playoff run this year, RW3 is even a better free throw shooter than J-Brown. That being said, he definitely has potential to develop into a strech big man if Draymond with such horendous free throw performance right now was once a decent open 3 shooter.
I just fear the Kid is going to stay injured a lot. He jumps at absolutely EVERYTHING! He’s always in the air coming. He has got to learn to be effective on the defensive end with his feet on the ground
He has this weird Ben Wallace vibe to him. They both play a little different, but definitely undersized in their position. Not saying Big Ben wasn’t strong, but they both go up against 7 footers with absolutely no hesitation. RW3 is actually my favorite player on the Celtics right now and I hope they treat him right over there.
His blocks are also efficient in terms of sending them back towards his teammates. Dwight during his Orlando days used to block the heck out of his opponents but most of his blocks would send the ball out in the stands. Williams feeds his teammates Offensive Rebounds.
Robert Williams likely won't have a huge prime because his game revolves around athleticism But given his knee holds up, he could be the most impactful defender since Dennis rodman
I think Timelord will be the DPOY next year and I have a feeling it won’t be his last. I knew this guy was a stud two years ago when he started getting minutes, but nobody outside of Boston seemed to notice. Just needs to stay healthy
Just me thinking out loud would you do a video on Pelicans potential to be a top 5 offense ? Zion 20 points a game Brandon 23 points a game Cj 21 points a game only if Zion comes back more focused then they will be the next triple head monster or 3 stars on one team
I think smart has a bigger effect on Williams great stats than you realize. Smarts switching, and telling his teammates to switch allowed Williams to stay near the rim way more than most bigs get to. Yeah, all defensive leaders do this, but no one does it like smart. If it wasn't for smart, I think Williams would have gotten exposed more, and he would have had to leve the rim open a lot more.
Shoutout Robert and Grant Williams. 2 young guys that know their role and thrive in it.
Grant is garbage
Grant Williams disappeared in the Finals tho
@@liamnelson6573 he’s a role player that’s what they do. Still dropped 27 in a game 7. I’ll take it
Not to mention with Horford and Williams available. Who you gonna put Grant on? Klay? Wiggins? No thanks.
@@liamnelson6573 Warriors wasn't a good matchup for him
He showed flashes of midrange jumpshots throughout the season. He is definitely capable of expanding his offence
Agreed! Dude is a specimen

His defense was the catalyst for the Celtics. He knows his role is to thrive on defense and he did it a lot for the Celtics this year.
woah didnt realize Williams is "only" 6'8". He was really good in those finals
Personally I think Robert Williams III is the best undersized center in the entire league when it comes to raw defensive talents. Yes, better than Bam. Williams can keep up with bigger and more dominant centers. Bam is great but he can only really consistently contain guys who are closer to his size. Williams can keep up with guys like Embiid when they start coming down the lane. I know Bam-stans will attack me for sayin it but it's true and I love Bam. Bam is also a better offensive player than Williams III for what it's worth, but I'm just talkin raw defense here.
Rob Williams will be a Future Draymond Green for Boston, I know Rob will be Great Defender and Inside Presence for Boston's Future Man
Rob is not a Dray like player. He’s a Ben Wallace like player.
Robert Williams III could be an offensive beast as well, he is just a big strong powerful dunking beast. He and Smart make a great dynamic duo and they could make a lob city like duo but they have a great overall team so they can’t otherwise the rest of team won’t do anything
2023 champs lol
I hate they way He Lands. If its Work for him fine. But from an Outsider Perspektive IT Looks "Dangerous"
If he's healthy, I think Robert Williams is likely a top 5 candidate for Defensive Player of the Year. Not sure if he can expand his offense.
He only recive 1 vote to be a BEST defender of the year and It has voted for ... Spanish journalist, hilarius!!
I wish I had a buck every time somebody overreacted to a Celtics player.

he reminds me of Ben Wallace, + better in offense
I see a Ben Wallace in him defensively. As a Warriors fan, I feared Robert Williams down low on defense and his lob-threat
Robert is a more threatening rim protector then Gobert in my opinion. Just as a warriors fan the way I feel when Robert is on the floor is simply more threatening than when Gobert is on the floor
He is too 🐌 slow, Celticks play better against Bucks when he was out!!
Think you like him a little too much. All-Time ? We’ll just have to see because i don’t believe the hype.
lets see first if the celtics not destroyed another players career again by playing him injured in the playoffs
I've seen him so a mid range jumper a few Times idk why the celtic don't use it that much
Robert Williams can't be 6'8 he must be closer to 6'10
There's no way, he is 6'8"... he is at least 6'9"

One surprising Timelord stat: Though not much of a shooter at all, Rob still led the Celtics in FT% these playoffs at 89.3%

I think smart has a bigger effect on Williams great stats than you realize. Smarts switching, and telling his teammates to switch allowed Williams to stay near the rim way more than most bigs get to. Yeah, all defensive leaders do this, but no one does it like smart. If it wasn't for smart, I think Williams would have gotten exposed more, and he would have had to leve the rim open a lot more.
Can you do a Desmond Bane video? I can see that he's gonna be a big thing in the next few years. Also his body looks like a football player. Thanks
