If Al Horford believes Boston Celtics’ second year big-man Robert Williams III will “blossom in the NBA“, why shouldn’t you? With the 33-year-old’s departure, coupled with Aron Baynes being traded to Phoenix this offseason, minutes will surely be up for grabs during the 2019-20 campaign. With this, we could see the 21-year-old’s career bloom sooner than expected.
Keep in mind, Horford has been no stranger to success during his 13-year career. With 11 playoff appearances, 5 All-Star nods and an All-NBA honor to his name, it’s safe to say the big knows what it takes to reach elite status in this league, and it appears he believes Williams has what it takes to reach said heights.
