Can RWill return?
So Robert
Williams III has been a somewhat injury prone Pistons over the first two years
of his young NBA career. This season was especially rough, as lots of fans
expected him to make a name for himself in the rotation. These injuries could
prove to be a real issue for Williams, who’s game depends on his agility and
explosiveness. However, the NBA has seen vastly different sides to the story in
terms of injuries derailing the career of an NBA big man.
On one side
of the coin, there’s guys like Greg Oden and Nerlens Noel. Both suffered major
injuries in the first few years of their NBA careers. In Oden’s case, he never
lived up to his full potential. Noel has managed to turn himself into a
half-decent rotational piece, but for a while it looked like his career would
be that of another bust.
On the
other side of the coin, you have the likes of Joel Embiid and Blake Griffin.
Both were very injury prone in their first few years in the league, and some
would argue they still are to this day. Despite that, each managed to become
All-Star caliber big men and lead their teams to the playoffs many times.
The way I
look at it, Robert Williams should be able to play like a DeAndre Jordan or
Tyson Chandler type guy. Both made All-Defensive teams at the peak of their
career, Chandler was an elite anchor to the Mavs’ defense, and Jordan was a
super explosive, extreme athlete who caught lobs better than anyone. But maybe
it’s the time to explore his remaining potential and trade him away as soon as possible.
For now decision has being made but it could be in this off season. Pistons direction
is quite fringe with the acquisition of super star Brunson, and RWill could be
a key for an upgrade.
