When Robert Williams was taken No. 27 overall by the Boston Celtics, he became the fourth player in Texas A&M history to be drafted in the first round of the NBA Draft. It was the first since Acie Law IV went No. 11 overall in 2007.
However, a couple of his teammates will have to take a more difficult path to the league. Fellow front court starters Tyler Davis and DJ Hogg went undrafted, meaning they will need to impress a team enough to get signed as an undrafted free agent.
Williams going in the first round was almost a forgone conclusion.
