Robert Williams debuts for Celtics

As Aron Baynes dealt with a right hamstring strain, Robert Williams III got a chance to play.

The No. 27 overall pick in this summer’s draft made his Celtics debut on Monday night against the Orlando Magic, suiting up for the first time after watching the first three games in street clothes.

Though he only appeared for a brief, three-minute stretch late in the third quarter, entering the game with the Celtics trailing, 68-59, there were still a few things to take away from his first run.

His most notable sequence came when he met Nikola Vucevic in the high post with the shot clock winding down.
