Robert Williams III

The Boston Celtics and Robert Williams III are flying high — in the standings and on the court. San Antonio Spurs rookie Malaki Branham thinks he’s got a clear look at a straightaway three-pointer until Williams III puts his elite athleticism on display by springboarding from the foul line to block the shot. The fifth-year center was not finished either, as Williams III beats Branham to the loose ball before scooping it up and finishing the play with a fast break layup. Boston’s man in the middle posted 10 points on 5 for 6 shooting — along with 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and four blocks — in his squad’s 121–116 win on January 7, 2023.
