BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I am sorry, but I don't have any idea about where this Boston Celtics squad is led to. The truth is, the team has been a little bit disappointing this season, to say the least. I'm writing this while Boston sits in the no. 6 spot of the Eastern Conference, with a losing 16-17 record, and only 0.5 games above the 10th-best and last play-in team Charlotte Hornets.
Everything points to Boston doing something before the trade deadline, and chances are they opt to add a scoring wing rather than a big man. If someone gets to the team, someone will need to go the other way, and that could mean either Tristan Thompson/Daniel Theis might be getting shipped. That would open the door to Robert Williams, who has been coming off the bench and playing just 16 MPG on the year.
Those minutes are up to 18 in the past two weeks, and Williams' per-minute production could hardly have been better. Williams is averaging a ridiculous 1.33 FP/min (league average is at 0.9), and his line this past couple of weeks is at 8-7-1-1-2. That is not huge on a total/counting basis, but you can't ask for more when it comes to a second-unit player. Williams' a must-add for those in deeper leagues needing rebounds, blocks, shooting percentages, and a lack of turnovers.
