Rob is the DPOTY in my opinion. He's the most impactful defensive player on the best defense in the league and it's not subtle. There are also so many times that guys just don't even dare to enter the paint with him roaming because they know he's going to either block it or force a terrible shot. Also, if he can become more aggressive looking for his own offense and gets some confidence in his jumper, he will be an All Star.
How can you say he is breaking up plays more then Smart? Smart forces them to change plays twice before giving up a set and running a broken lay up play Rob or Horford can send to the moon. They arent running plays into Rob that he is stopping. Smart is taking away their options and leaving them with a deep contest three or a weakside lay up for Rob to feast on. Its a team effort but Rob made a video explaining this the other day.
He is the DPOY but Smart does deserve it. Timelords motor was because of smart and he feeds of Smart. However, naturally a hybrid center/power forward, he is just too much. Celtics defense will go another level once he comes back
I remember many comments about Robert Williams after he was drafted and how he would be out of basketball in a couple years due to injuries and personal issues. The support system the team created to show him how to become a pro and a better person, and how he responded, is why we are now seeing the full potential of his game emerge on a nightly basis. This is a great success story of the way trust and dedication to developing a player, who only needed some guidance and sound culture around him, has made the team a title contender. The Celtics would not be on this path without Time Lord.
I loved Rob and Grant Williams since I watched both of their defensive mixtapes from 2019/2020. Seeing their offenses develop is so rewarding, and I'm not even a Celtics fan
As a lifelong Celtics fan, Rob is my favorite current player. Definitely DPOY material. Funny how a guy named Time Lord always seems to be in the right place. And I've never seen someone block so many 3s. Not a bad talent to have the way the league is going.
Underrated thing he does is get ball out fast on outlets as well. As his rebounding increased so did our pace. Watch how many times a game he doesn’t even bother catching a rebound to the floor and just taps or outlets in air. Another thing about his defense is he’s forcing bad decisions. People are hyper aware of his presence and pass on layups and/or throw passes back outside to no one or heavily guarded guys.
@@AlexHoops Otherworldly reaction times and incredibly soft hands. Can you imagine him as a pass-catching tight end in the NFL? It's mindblowing that his gifts stand out as much as they do in a league where almost everyone is a world-class athlete. In a couple of the clips you showed, I noticed him display some surprisingly good post moves. If he could develop a reliable midrange shot, he'd be unguardable. [BTW, I hit the subscribe button. Great content].
Huge Celtics fan here. Big Williams fan. I love the dude but i think some of the lack of hype is how publicly undressed embiid and joker have left him. Those are two MVP players so its no shame to get beat by them but you cant deny that against the 76ers Smart steps up and guards embiid in the big moments. Since those guys have so many league eyes on them i am wondering if thats why he doesnt get talked about. Hard to make a case for DPOY when in the biggest moments with the most eyes you take a step back to being the number 2 guy. Still crazy that shit can effect narrative since the dude is putting up great numbers.
Offense and defense his game IQ is super high!! He’s so aware of everything around him. I’m a huge fan and was hoping last year that he’d get more playing time , it definitely paid off!!!!
I really like the Celtics and I'm happy to see them thrive this season albeit a rough start. Rob Williams kinda reminds me of a former DPOY on the team I support, Draymond Green. He has a level of defensive versatility I admire and I hope he reaches that DPOY level soon enough as he and the Celtics continue to grow.
Rob is the Xfactor. I've always seen his potential, and I have enjoyed watching him grow into the beast he is now. He blocks, defends, scores, passes. He can do it all, and you really notice the difference when he's not in there. He's so athletic and intimidating, the opposition is more timid when he's in.
Watching the playoffs you can definitely tell how important he is, feel so confident when he’s playing compared to when he isn’t. I can see DPOY in the next 2 years tbh
His passing is reminiscent of Larry's, and his defense of Bill's. He's an odd tweener that may never get his just desserts but he's definitely the heart of the defense. Outstanding vision and timing, a very instinctive player who is beyond his stats.
One of the things that stands out about him is that he's one of very few centers that isn't a liability defending the perimeter. His footwork is excellent and he does a very good job keeping up with guards. He has multiple game winning blocks, on the PERIMETER, and he also can move his feet quick enough in combination with his long strides to stay with fast players driving to the rim and block them or at least majorly disrupt their shot. Not many centers can do that
Rob Williams is probably tricky for opponents because he's only 6'8 (which is still tall) but it leaves guys more confident they can score over him than were he a true center height. When they realize they messed up is when he pulls out his crazy athleticism and 7'6 wingspan and ferociously slams the ball away.
@@suiken3149 True, I’d defensively value someone with 7’6 wingspan more than someone like Shaq having 7’4 wingspan while standing at 7’1. Whereas Rob having the height of 6'8-6'9.
I’m really glad he’s developed properly I wasn’t sure if he ever would given his immense talent, and I love that our new coach puts him exactly where he needs to be in order to showcase his amazing defense. Plus he’s a good passer and great diver off picks. If he can continue to get better on offense he’s a star
I'm a Celts fan and a couple of years ago I was watching that team and he kept blowing me away of how good and great this kid was but the coach didn't see it. It over a year for the coach to catch on and start using him more.
I swear the first time I saw this dude play I knew he was something special. Even when he was getting no minutes, when he would come out on the floor he would genuinely hustle his ass off. I knew he was hungry for playing time and his defense showed for certain, but people sleep on his ability to disrupt what's going on under the basket offensively. I really hope he has a solid career with us.
The Celtics been my team for so long but this is more recent , I remember playing 2K21 fairly often but I pretty much only played MyLeague, I would always make Robert Williams have max potential and if he wasn’t as progressed as I thought he should’ve been I’d specifically make him better😭 I remember the game pretty much looked at me crazy putting him higher than everyone except Tatum and Brown because everytime I’d simulate seasons and not touch him he’d always be on the bench and under 75 but I’d raise him to 85-90 half the time. I love the fact that I was so right about him, but the amount of times I saw him show so much potential during critical moments throughout prior seasons but not totally get those minutes due to little fouling mistakes or travels or just very minute things that made him better to only put in for a short period of time, just makes me so much more secure with my knowledge of basketball, i was genuinely banking on the fact that this Celtics team was unbelievably better than the previous Celtics team and when we came into the season so damn mid, I questioned myself but I also kind of came to a realization that this is bigger than just how good our team should be. Now that we’ve finally clicked and hit the point where we should’ve been all along I see exactly what I expected to see and it makes me so damn happy.
Look at how everyone is now seeing this. I said years ago they needed to start timelord. Took Brad to become gen manager for Rob to start. I seen him having a big impact a long time ago
I think there was also the really big issue of Rob always being hurt. We definitely saw flashes of what he could be, but this year, a lot of things clicked. He’s not biting as much for pump fakes, he’s showing his skills as a facilitator, and most important, he’s shown he can stay on the court. When he signed his extension, I thought that as long as he could average 20-25 min a night for 60+ games, his contract would be a steal
he had to evolve as a player. Was out of position and biting on pump fakes too much in his first couple years. Trying to block everything and giving up easy baskets.
Yeah I’ve been wanting him to start since his 2nd year even tho he’s was late for practices and trying to block everything in the paint and fouling a bunch. His talent was screaming for him to start but now that his IQ has gotten better & he’s been able to stay relatively healthy he’s definitely our best defensive big no question
If they ran the offence though him more though he’d start getting pressured and might not be at that level. He benefits from being a secret weapon that the opposition doesn’t think about too much
I can see why you would say that, but he’s still a good passer tho and probably able to average 3 to 4 assists a game if they did run more offense thru him
Great video, I cant remember seeing a rim protecting center with this level of court vision. He has a unique skill-set for sure and should get a 5x5 game at some point in his career.
i like the point on the assists. i've always said this about rob. i think being around horford early in his career, and now (which is still early) has really helped when it comes to facilitating.
Honestly, Time Lord has got the potential to be one of the top shot blockers in the history. I mean, 9 blocks in 22 minutes last season against the Nets in the Playoffs. That's insane... And he is always altering shots, elite defender and a future DPOY. Hope he stays healthy!
Well done on the analysis esp the selected clips to demonstrate yr pt. His improvement started from 2nd half of LY after Theis was traded & continues to impress. He's much calmer & rarely leaves his feet or try to block everything. He doesn't do verticality much as he just wait until the player commit himself & shoots, & then uses his quick & bouncy leap to swat. If he ever develops a long & reliable jumper, he'd be nightmore for other teams.
Not a Celtics fan, but great video. No one besides a select few in Boston knows about him! The average NBA fan thinks Westbrook and harden are more valuable than him.
The offensive duo of the two J’s and the defensive duo of Smart and the time lord is fun to watch. Especially because all of the team is well rounded in offense and defense
Its a bit concerning that he plays fewer minutes than horford. I hope the durability issues ease up like they did with embiid. I do think his passing skill is very noticeable in game, but a little unnecessary with his current skill set. Hes not going to be holding the ball in a threatening position too often. At least half of his offense is from put backs and lobs. Thats why his assists are a bit low despite that clear ability.
This level of athleticism at center changes the game. Rob Williams dominates above the rim, on both ends. If he is still undiscovered, it won't stay that way, because his play is so visually spectacular. If you follow the NBA by watching highlight clips, you're already thinking of Williams as an all-star.
Celtics fans are feeling good lately. Seeing Timelord, the Jays, Smart and crew all playing well. It sucked to see Kyrie and Hayward not work out but the Celtics are rolling and I love it
people would like to compare him to clint capella, all seriously if any of you watch his game. you would know timelord naturally have a good sense of positioning, relocating himself so teammates can find him, grab rebound with ease, so naturally have a good feel how on to use the backboard. good vision and able to make quick decision to pass the ball out should he gets overwhelm in the paint. can guard alot of position and his jump is really explosive to the point it often doesn't matter if guards have quicker first step, often he could recover to block the shot with ease. people like town would try to block every shot to the point where he tried to block a unnessary play where players is already shooting a very tough shots, so instead of boxing out town would go out of his way to block pointless shots like this, often leaving his man open for second chance. robert william doesn't do that. i believe robert william also leads the league for 2 season in blocking jumpshots.
Hey I'm looking forward to today and I agree with you 100% and I just subscribed I'm from Alaska and I follow a team in Boston I've been to a game once that man is amazing he reminds me of parish
@@jasonrutherford1722 brad was the one who re-signed him to the bargain contract because he was the one who saw the potential in practice as the head coach. Danny drafted him then dipped
But yes Brad was definatly needed and has done an amazing job i believe just like larry bird said most coachs have a shelf life especially coachs that havent played in league i think Brad had an awesome eye for talent couple misses but nobody is perfect but all and all what a story fired and then hired and to pull of a run like he has so far is phenominal im very happy with his production as the teams General manager awesome stuff
He can be an offensive beast if he wants, he’s very strong and powerful as well as athletic, he can dunk through everyone if he wanted. I p,aged 2K on HOF and won by 20 with my best leading scorer being Time Lord with 38 points because he can dominate the paint with his strength and agility. Tatum had 21 and brown had 6
couldn't agree more about stats not telling the full story. If you watch TL with a keen eye you'll quickly realise that his BB IQ is off the charts. dude knows exactly what is going on at all times on the court...
I wish he would train with KG and see if he can be shown a mid range shot to level up, he has a bit of Dennis Rodman for his timing on rebounds and blocks and his sync when moving with his playmaking and a bit of KG's Tenacity and motor, with a mid range jumper he would become one of the most dangerous big men in the league
Three years ago we all thought Mitchell Robinson was better. Look at us now. I didn't see this development happening so quickly. Timelord is the best American born center in the league. Edit: He might only be 6'9" but his wingspan is well over 7 feet and he has maybe the biggest vertical of anyone his size. He's also very very strong. I've never noticed his height difference being any type of an issue.
If Robert Williams can stay healthy and keep improving, maybe develop a consistent 15-20 ft Jumper I’d say he could have a similar career to kg. It sounds ridiculous and I’m not saying rob will be anything close to kg, but the way he is able to guard around the perimeter and defend bigs and guards so well he definitely has some similarities. It would be great to see him develop a jump shot but anything more than what he’s giving us now is just a bonus. Just gotta stay healthy!
It's all a popularity contest it seems like in the league today. No one looks at the potiential and talent in players. Will always love my boy rob though, hands down my favourite player to watch
He would of been a star before 3s took the league over... All those blocks and he's not the primary post defender. They use Horford to defend down low, with Rob out on the perimeter alot.
Not really if he’s out in the perimeter that limits his weak side shot blocking. They put him baseline matched up on poor shooters so he can roam the paint and be in position to get those weak side blocks
Rob Williams' assist numbers don't do his vision and incredible passing ability any justice. He's just an incredible finisher so there isn't often a need for him to pass but when he does it's wild sometimes.

Yup, love his passing game and his ability to get second chance points
@@AlexHoops I agree, his playmaking is good. Only fans who watch the game can see that, and not people who JUST look at stats.
He’s already at a Bam/Adebayo level of play making one of the best passing bigs in the league and it doesn’t get talked about enough
His passing already is sensational and he’s one of the most efficient finishers at the rim. If he develops an elbow jumper it’s curtains.
Great passer and elite lob threat

His extension is shaping up to be one of the best contracts in the league
His passing reminds me of Steven Adams
He’s a better passer than Adams
He’s a way better passer than adams
Especially now at Memphis, right? They both are good passers.
Ben Wallace meets Bam Defensively can guard basically 1-5. With a crazy wingspan .
Great video! That Al Horford to Time Lord alley oop was amazing btw.
He's an amazing defender and playing for Boston under Ime is the perfect place for him to mature. 🍀💚
Robert Williams is if peak DeAndre Jordan cared and had a much higher bball IQ. TY for shining some light on The Time Lord!
Top 25-40 player in the NBA
Rob is a total joy to watch especially as a top rim blocker and also as a dunker.
Honestly, Time Lord has got the potential to be one of the top shot blockers in the history. I mean, 9 blocks in 22 minutes last season against the Nets in the Playoffs. That's insane... And he is always altering shots, elite defender and a future DPOY. Hope he stays healthy!
As a celtics fan I was so excited when they drafted him. Really happy that hes finally turning into the player that celtics fans knew he could become
He's also a solid free throw shooter so I would assume he can step out and hit a mid range from time to time
He can do this. I think we will see some of that next year, when he receives a pass in the slot and the defense plays him to pass instead of shoot.

The model is not Draymont Green, it's Bill Russell.
He's only 6'9? Damn. He plays so much taller than that.
people would like to compare him to clint capella, all seriously if any of you watch his game. you would know timelord naturally have a good sense of positioning, relocating himself so teammates can find him, grab rebound with ease, so naturally have a good feel how on to use the backboard. good vision and able to make quick decision to pass the ball out should he gets overwhelm in the paint.
can guard alot of position and his jump is really explosive to the point it
often doesn't matter if guards have quicker first step, often he could recover to block the shot with ease.
people like town would try to block every shot to the point where he tried to block a unnessary play where players is already shooting a very tough shots, so instead of boxing out town would go out of his way to block pointless shots like this, often leaving his man open for second chance.
robert william doesn't do that.
i believe robert william also leads the league for 2 season in blocking jumpshots.
Time lord deserves the 2nd team selection
I also see that he will not only becoming a defensive player but has big role on his shoulder to win a championship for the Celtics.
He has improved! He would be lethal if he had a midrange game and Hakeem's post moves
Hey I'm looking forward to today and I agree with you 100% and I just subscribed I'm from Alaska and I follow a team in Boston I've been to a game once that man is amazing he reminds me of parish

I wish he was on the Raptors haha. I feel like he would fit in the system well.
Completely agree about his passing
I love my TimeLord and our Pittbull Marcus Smart..Great job IME and Brad so look out for the Green!!
It's insane Boston Just signed him for only 54m for 4 years, such a bargain.
danny find and steal for sure
@@jasonrutherford1722 brad was the one who re-signed him to the bargain contract because he was the one who saw the potential in practice as the head coach. Danny drafted him then dipped
@@sterlingshort744 yes but everyone passed on him in draft Danny pushed that we take him
But yes Brad was definatly needed and has done an amazing job i believe just like larry bird said most coachs have a shelf life especially coachs that havent played in league i think Brad had an awesome eye for talent couple misses but nobody is perfect but all and all what a story fired and then hired and to pull of a run like he has so far is phenominal im very happy with his production as the teams General manager awesome stuff
Dude is a beast around the rim.
He can be an offensive beast if he wants, he’s very strong and powerful as well as athletic, he can dunk through everyone if he wanted. I p,aged 2K on HOF and won by 20 with my best leading scorer being Time Lord with 38 points because he can dominate the paint with his strength and agility. Tatum had 21 and brown had 6
couldn't agree more about stats not telling the full story. If you watch TL with a keen eye you'll quickly realise that his BB IQ is off the charts. dude knows exactly what is going on at all times on the court...
If rudy can win 2+ defensive mvp so can TIMELORD
I wish he would train with KG and see if he can be shown a mid range shot to level up, he has a bit of Dennis Rodman for his timing on rebounds and blocks and his sync when moving with his playmaking and a bit of KG's Tenacity and motor, with a mid range jumper he would become one of the most dangerous big men in the league
Without a doubt
You could tell this guy was going to be special. When everyone was shouting Tacko, I knew Timelord was the truth.
Three years ago we all thought Mitchell Robinson was better. Look at us now. I didn't see this development happening so quickly. Timelord is the best American born center in the league.
Edit: He might only be 6'9" but his wingspan is well over 7 feet and he has maybe the biggest vertical of anyone his size. He's also very very strong. I've never noticed his height difference being any type of an issue.
Badass breakdown
Well Marcus Smart for a tiny PG is getting some amazing blocks and his hustle game is one of the best of all time but Rob is definitely a candidate
Let em know big fella
He also has a lil jump shot around the paint too
Hometown Hero🙌🏾
I see a video on Lob Williams, i must watch it
If Robert Williams can stay healthy and keep improving, maybe develop a consistent 15-20 ft
Jumper I’d say he could have a similar career to kg. It sounds ridiculous and I’m not saying rob will be anything close to kg, but the way he is able to guard around the perimeter and defend bigs and guards so well he definitely has some similarities. It would be great to see him develop a jump shot but anything more than what he’s giving us now is just a bonus. Just gotta stay healthy!
Low-key, the Celtics got their next Big 3. Tatum, Brown & Williams.
It's all a popularity contest it seems like in the league today. No one looks at the potiential and talent in players. Will always love my boy rob though, hands down my favourite player to watch
Rusty called it
Which vid
@@bkak2245 it’s on twitter my bro
Smart and Rob should at least be in talks for DPOY. Celtics has the best defence in the league right now because of them.
Rob leads the league in defensive rating AND offensive rating
Boston now has a real coach and how to use his players!!!👍
prob not gonna watchanother vid but i subbed and liked just for the timelord
Hahaha fair enough, I’ve got other Celtics vids if you want to check them out
@@AlexHoops Ight fair enough 😂 I’ll check em out also u think we got a shot this year I feel like we’re a finals lock over the rest of the east
He would of been a star before 3s took the league over... All those blocks and he's not the primary post defender. They use Horford to defend down low, with Rob out on the perimeter alot.
Not really if he’s out in the perimeter that limits his weak side shot blocking. They put him baseline matched up on poor shooters so he can roam the paint and be in position to get those weak side blocks
Horford really helped in his development
That’s my second favorite player right there
Imagine if he's 6'10 or taller, he'd be unstoppable
I thought he was for a long time til I see only listed at 6’8. Guy is a monster in the paint for his size
He is the anchor to their defense
I really hope he develops a floater or a midrange game
Rob Williams' assist numbers don't do his vision and incredible passing ability any justice. He's just an incredible finisher so there isn't often a need for him to pass but when he does it's wild sometimes.
i love rob im gonna get his jersy soon, ktv
This dude is an offballer’s dream in 2k22
my goat
He always reminds me of James Posey!
He should be the DPOY this season, never mind in the future
