The Boston Celtics may have found the steal of the draft in Robert Williams, and he is certainly going to be a major part of their plans next season. He still needs to prove that he can actually handle a proper role in the NBA, but he could drastically change what the Celtics try to do in free agency.
If the Celtics believe in Williams’ ability to have an immediate impact on defense, while being a truly elite athlete, then they may not need to make any changes in free agency.
The best kind of bargain a team can get is a rookie contributing, and that is a big deal for a team that does not have much money to work with.
