Rob Williams starts season leading Celtics in seven (7) categories

Celtics fans starting to see more than just a freakish athlete

Would you believe Rob Williams is leading the Celtics in at least seven (7) statistical categories at the 3-game mark of the 2020-21 season? Yes, it's true. Williams III leads all of his teammates in the following per-100-possessions categories:

Offensive Rating (148)

Defensive Rating (107)

Blocks (4.3)

Steals (5.7)

Field Goal percentage (88.9%)

Win Shares per 48 minutes (.246)

Player Efficiency Rating (31.0)

Rob really came through in the Celtics recent loss to the Indiana Pacers. He was energetic, focused and composed on the floor. We may be starting to see his emergence as a solid piece of the rotation.

Brad Stevens is letting the kids play. With 22 minutes of floor time, this is Rob Williams best game as a Celtic.

Granted, the sample is small. Williams has only played in two of the Celtics three games thus far this season. It is still to be determined if he is merely a freakish athlete, future solid NBA player - or potential star. That outcome may just be totally in Rob's hands.

Did the Celtics Kevin McHale really have a wingspan of 8-feet?

According to many sources, the Celtics Kevin McHale did indeed have an estimated wingspan of 8-feet. One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft. Red Auerbach, in yet another heist, brought in both McHale and center Robert Parish (via trade) prior to the Celtics' 1980-81 Champion

In defense of Marcus Smart

Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S
