After a college career where his work ethic was questioned and a Celtics career that has already gotten off with a delayed introduction conference and a missed flight, rookie big Robert Williams has been assigned Alex Barlow as personal coach/liaison according to Jay King of The Athletic.
The Celtics have generally had assistant coaches matched up with players throughout the summer to work with them in a one-on-one setting and help hone their skills. The news feels a little different for Williams though. He has the reputation of a “good kid who needs some structure” and Boston will do everything to shape him into a professional athlete.
