Brad Stevens has given Robert Williams unsolicited praise during the off-season. Gordon Hayward, who has reportedly been at The Auerbach Center a ton since the playoffs ended, recently pumped him up on his appearance on Pat McAffee’s podcast:
Sky's the limit for him, man. He's long and athletic, jumps effortlessly to block shots or to catch lobs. He's somebody that I've been in the gym with. I'm hoping that he continues to work and progress and I think he could be a monster for us. -@gordonhayward on @rob_williamsIII https://t.
