NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, DEFENSIVE-MINDED BIG
The Time Lord!: Robert Williams is an intriguing big who serves as one of the game’s most flexible rim protectors; great frontcourt athlete - Williams possesses great lateral quickness, can stay in front of (and switch on) lots of different assignments + stars as lob-maestro (who can rim-run with the best of them) offensively; shot-blocking machine, has the ability to stay with smaller guards/wings in PnR situations & wall them off, make them pass or swat it away; solid midrange shooter w/ a decent touch, though normally focuses on his bread & butter (catching & finishing, oops) around the basket; earned a premiere, starting role in the league; dealt to Blazers (2023) - Williams performs a vital role* as the anchor of Portland’s defense, is continuing to grow as one of the game’s top Watch DOGs
*helps set the tone - Williams establishes a contagious effort while locking down the middle
