Robert Williams’ insane production should earn him a bigger role

Robert Williams has easily been one of Boston’s five best players this season. He might even be their third best player. Does this mean his relatively limited role is perfect for him, or should he see more playing time?

Against the Atlanta Hawks, Javonte Green became the 14th Celtic to start a game this year. This leaves Robert Williams, Tacko Fall, and Aaron Nesmith as the only Celtics to have only played off the bench. Two-thirds of this equation makes sense, but why hasn’t Rob started? In his 15 minutes per game, he’s blowing out most of his teammates in production.
